Cheese Over Pepperoni

[Verse] The clock struck midnight, my heart 'bout to break, A craving in my belly, it was more than I could take. Picked up the phone, dialed the number real slow, Said, "Send me a pepperoni, I've got the hunger growin' low." [Verse 2] The doorbell rang, and my face lit up in delight, Handed over the cash, for that box in the moonlight. Rushed to the table, lifted the lid with glee, But instead of pepperoni, it was just plain ol’ cheese. [Chorus] Well, life’s like a pizza, sometimes it’s what you don’t choose, You might want the pepperoni, but the cheese ain’t bad news. When hunger takes over, sometimes you gotta appease, I learned to love that simple slice of cheese. [Verse 3] Took the first bite, with a sigh and a grin, Guess I’d forgotten how good plain cheese had been. The crust was golden, the cheese melted just right, Turns out a simple life can also be a delight. [Verse 4] In this small town, under the moon’s weak light, I found satisfaction in a simple cheese bite. Sometimes what you want ain’t what you receive, But you learn to love it, open your heart and believe. [Bridge] So now when I call, I still sometimes ask for more, But if they bring me cheese, I ain’t keepin' score. It’s the little things in life that bring real ease, Like a late-night pizza, even if it’s only cheese.
