'Cause I'm not a shadow I'm not the ground beneath your feet When you look down, you wont see me I'll stand up and I'll stand tall, I don't follow anyone I'm not a shadow, 'cause I'm not a shadow I'm not a shadow Here's to you don't settle, and never

Settle down, settle down my boy settle down Settle down, an eat your peas and gravy, my boy Stop wasting all your time with running around the town Knuckle down and find a job and take some responsibility The future's something you should be thinking

Oh won't you settle me down The coolest fever in my blood A man's blood runs hot As high as the temple will go Though we can deny our nature, baby It makes us less in control There's a beautiful lady who breaks in the sand

You wanna be loved This feels like falling in love Falling in love We're falling in love Kiss me like you wanna be loved Settle down with me I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet Cover me up Cuddle me in

And I don't know what to feel Birds will sing if we fall Midnight dust on the floor Watch it turn into gold And I don't even know what's real I'm the truth in disguise, I'm in love with your lies 'Cause I can't breath, can't settle down No I don't know

I'll never grow up You think that life's a free ride We're gonna end your party With some responsibility Hey whadaya doin' with your life Why don'tcha settle down And find yourself a wife

When you're round me Girl, when you come around me You ain't the type of lady that's known to fuck around Keep your mind on your money and you ain't looking to settle down Girl, you keep it 100, 100, 100 Yeah, girl you keep it 100, 100, 100 when you're

Settle down, settle down, settle down Girl it's all over your face, there's someone taking my place Guess that's something that I'm dealing with now I guess there's nothing I can do now I see you in the city Do they know you're with me Oh, you're with me

Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way? I was dumb enough not to settle down when you wanted to Now I'm sittin' here going crazy trying to crawl back to you But I was smart enough to come to my senses Be who

But I blew it without even tryin' Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota Hell it's been a very long time You wear it
