Don't Believe Everything You Think
Lee Brice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A music man like me ain't ever gonna settle down
And you're just waiting around for the day that you're convinced ain't gonna come
And just the thought of wedding bells would make me want to run away
Well all I can say
Is don't believe everything you think
Baby, I might just have a ring in my pocket right now
Baby, come on back to me again, yeah, oh the mind's a funny thing
Don't believe everything you think
Every time another pretty girl comes walking by, I see your wheels turning
The way you watch my eyes, girl I don't know why
You let it cross your mind that I ain't crazy over you
And I don't want all the very same things you do
Babe, all I'm gonna say
Is don't believe everything you think
Baby, I might just have a ring in my pocket right now
So settle on down girl, reel that wild imagination in,
Baby, come on back to me again, Yeah, the mind's a funny thing
Don't believe everything you think
Girl, you need to get on out of your head and into your heart instead, like I said
Is don't believe everything you think
Baby, I might just have a ring in my pocket right now
So settle on down girl, reel that wild imagination back in,
Baby, come on back to me again, yeah, the mind's a funny thing
Don't believe everything you think
Yeah, the mind's a funny thing, don't believe everything you think
The lyrics to Lee Brice's song Don't Believe Everything You Think are about the singer's frustration with their partner's assumptions and preconceptions about their commitment. The partner assumes that the singer, being a musician, will never be ready to settle down and the idea of marriage terrifies him. Despite the partner's assumptions, the singer reassures them that they should not believe everything they think. The singer hints that he might actually be ready to propose and have a future together, urging the partner to settle down, reel in their wild imagination and return to him.
The song poignantly highlights the importance of communication and not making assumptions about someone's feelings or intentions. The partner's doubts may very well be unfounded and the assumptions they make about the singer's commitment may be inaccurate, causing unnecessary anxiety and doubt. By telling the partner not to believe everything they think, the singer is urging them to not let their fears and preconceptions rule their perception of the relationship.

I know you're thinking that you've got me all figured out
You believe that you understand me completely
A music man like me ain't ever gonna settle down
You think that because I'm a musician, I'll never want to get married
And you're just waiting around for the day that you're convinced ain't gonna come
You're waiting for a day when you're sure I'll never want to be with you
And just the thought of wedding bells would make me want to run away
You believe that the idea of marriage scares me so much that I would run away
Well all I can say
Is don't believe everything you think
I'm telling you not to believe your mistaken assumptions about me
Baby, I might just have a ring in my pocket right now
I could have a ring and be ready to propose
So settle on down girl, reel that wild imagination in,
Stop letting your imagination run wild and calm down
Baby, come on back to me again, yeah, oh the mind's a funny thing
Come back to me and realize how the mind can trick you
Every time another pretty girl comes walking by, I see your wheels turning
I notice when you get jealous or worried about other women around me
The way you watch my eyes, girl I don't know why
I don't understand why you're always watching me so closely
You let it cross your mind that I ain't crazy over you
You doubt that I'm as interested in you as you are in me
And I don't want all the very same things you do
We might not have the exact same desires and goals in life
Babe, all I'm gonna say
Is don't believe everything you think
Again, I'm telling you to stop believing your misconceptions about me
Girl, you need to get on out of your head and into your heart instead, like I said
You should stop overthinking and start feeling your emotions more
Yeah, the mind's a funny thing, don't believe everything you think
In conclusion, the mind can deceive you, so don't always trust your thoughts

this is mine and my boyfriends song because he knows i have trust issues and stuff and he completely accepts it, but always reminds me that I'm his forever. he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. when you find someone who accepts that you overthink and worry and doesnt get annoyed.. keep them <3

Its so funny...because I was listenting to this amazing man sing so long before he was popular...then the love of my life heard it playing in my stereo when we first met....we both love his music now! It has been a huge part of our journey together...as we fall more and more in love! Life is what we make it...not what we 'think' it should be.
