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
