[GREG]

When were together

I feel so grand

My heart goes tippity-tap-tap-tap

When I hold your hand

But I know theres another guy

You fancy more

So, even though

Im not the one you adore

Why not...

Settle for me

Darling, just settle for me

I think youll have to agree

We make quite a pair

I know Im only second place in this game

But like two-percent milk

Or seitan beef

I almost taste the same

So wont you settle for me

Come on and settle for me

Say yes or no before I choke on all this swallowed pride

I have no problem being picked out from the bottom

If hes your broken condom, Im Plan B!

So lower those expectations and settle for me

Am I okay with this?

Totally!

Settle for me

Babycakes, just settle for me

Schmoopy-pie, Im beggin' you, please

Cant you see the light?

Sugar jugs, Im so bereft!

Demeaning terms are all that I have left

Of my masculinity

So, settle for me

Little girl

Dont make me feel like a little girl

Exposed and raw

Whose boobs cant even fill a training bra

...Lets pretend I didnt say that

Settle for me

[REBECCA]

Its a practical proposal

[GREG]

Settle for me

[REBECCA]

It makes a certain sense

[GREG]

Hes a fantasy

But hey, lets think this through

Yes, Josh is a dream, but Im right here

In flesh and blood and self-hate

[BOTH]

Settle for me

[GREG]

In a sad way, darling, its fate

[Dance break.]

[REBECCA]

Youre like Rocky V to Rocky

[GREG]

Solange to Beyoncé

Not asking to be your fiancé

But if tonight or tomorrow

If you happen to be free

Maybe, just maybe

Settle for me!
