I Believe I'll Settle Down Lyrics

I believe I'll marry, I believe I'll settle down
I believe I'll marry, I believe I'll settle down
Lord, I'm tired of bein' a rambler, my last trip for runnin' around
Lord, I wonder, will she ever call my name?
Lord, I wonder, will she ever call my name?
Now she don't love me no mo', peoples ain't that a cryin' shame?
They tell me marriage is a sweet life, I believe I'll try myself
They tell me marriage is a sweet life, I believe I'll try myself
If I can't get the one I love, I won't take a chance with no one else
Lord, I wonder, will she ever think of me?
Lord, I wonder, will she ever think of me?
I'm sittin' with my head bendin' down, and tears fallin' on my knees

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
