Story Behind The Song
This song was created out of my desire to prevent heartache and to enlighten those who may be less experienced in matters of the heart.
Song Description
This is simply a song about someone trying to warn a woman who is considering getting involved romantically with a man who is nothing but a player. I realize that it could also be about a woman trying to warn a man facing that same situation.

Lyrics
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Verse 1
He's the kind of man who won't make future plans, says he's too busy
And he will never introduce you to his family
Says he truly loves you and you're the only one
But all he wants to do is lay you down
Chorus
He's a shallow man, a skin deep betrayer
He's a shallow man, some call him a player
Your love is deeper than he could ever swim
Don't you settle for a shallow man
Verse 2
You are beautiful like the northern lights in the sky
And what he's offering will only make you cry
Never lose your focus, and don't you compromise
Cause all he plans to do is womanize
Chorus
He's a shallow man, a skin deep betrayer
He's a shallow man, some call him a player
Your love is deeper than he could ever swim
Don't you settle for a shallow man
Bridge
Don't waste your time, he's not legit
he's not legit
He's a bucket with holes in it
with holes in it
(repeat bridge)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Chorus
He's a shallow man, a skin deep betrayer
He's a shallow man, some call him a player
Your love is deeper than he could ever swim
Don't you settle for a shallow man
(repeat chorus)
Outro
Don't you settle for a shallow man
Don't you settle for a
shallow man
Don't you settle for a
shallow man
Don't you settle for a
shallow man
Don't you settle for a
shallow man
Don't you settle for a
shallow man
Don't you settle for a
shallow man
Don't you settle for a
shallow man
