Lyrics
[verse]
I've been settlin' for maybes and for almost-good-enough,
Callin' lukewarm love a fire just to say that I'm in love.
But I caught my own reflection and she looked me in the eye,
Said honey, you keep shrinkin' for a man who lets you cry.
[chorus]
So I'm gonna ask for more, more than crumbs across the floor,
I know exactly what I'm worth and what these hands are reachin' for.
No more beggin' at a door that was never gonna open wide,
I'ma ask for more, and I won't apologize.
[verse]
Give me somebody steady, give me somebody kind,
Somebody who shows up on the days I lose my mind.
I don't need a fantasy I painted in my head,
I need a love that's real enough to hold me when I'm scared.
[chorus]
So I'm gonna ask for more, more than crumbs across the floor,
I know exactly what I'm worth and what these hands are reachin' for.
No more beggin' at a door that was never gonna open wide,
I'ma ask for more, and I won't apologize.
[bridge]
Mama raised a woman, not a girl who plays it small,
And I'd rather dance alone than settle for it all.
When the right one finds me, he won't make me shrink or hide,
He'll say baby, ask for more, and I'll be right here by your side.
[chorus]
So I'm gonna ask for more, more than crumbs across the floor,
I know exactly what I'm worth and what these hands are reachin' for.
No more beggin' at a door that was never gonna open wide,
I'ma ask for more, and I won't apologize.
