Settle Down
Janie, I've been watching you lately
It is about time I tell you now
I'm getting old and I want you cared for
Time for you to settle down
Nanny, I ain't thought about marriage
If I did, you'd know it
I want love to carry me to this
And for love, I'd do it
Settle Down (Janie)
Settle Down
Settle Down (young girl)
Settle Down
Understand what I'm telling you
It's about security
You ain't gone be the mule of the world
Marriage will set you free
Feel like this might be a case of
Kill a dream or watch it die
I know you want the best for me and
You say I'm none too spry
Settle Down (Janie)
Settle Down
Settle Down (young girl)
Settle Down
Don't worry about what you don't know
You'll learn to love him
He'll provide you what you need and
He'll learn to love you too
Flowers come with a union, don't they?
So what about my springtime?
All day and night I'm working
Am I supposed to want him?!
Settle Down (Janie)
Settle Down
Settle Down (young girl)
Settle Down
Too hard out here for a woman
With no man to guide
Gotta find all by herself
Be the head of her own house
You think God'd be happy with
All this settling down
Don't see the meaning of it
When love's not around
Settle Down (Janie)
Settle Down
Settle Down (young girl)
Settle Down
Settle Down (Janie)
Settle Down
Settle Down (young girl)
Settle Down
It is about time I tell you now
I'm getting old and I want you cared for
Time for you to settle down
Nanny, I ain't thought about marriage
If I did, you'd know it
I want love to carry me to this
And for love, I'd do it
Settle Down (Janie)
Settle Down
Settle Down (young girl)
Settle Down
Understand what I'm telling you
It's about security
You ain't gone be the mule of the world
Marriage will set you free
Feel like this might be a case of
Kill a dream or watch it die
I know you want the best for me and
You say I'm none too spry
Settle Down (Janie)
