Somebody's Gonna
SixForty1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every guy′s gonna try real quick
Shooting lines trying to act all slick
But they won't get the chance I get
Yeah girl I′m gonna treat you right
If I don't somebody might
Ask your daddy before I do I can tell by looking at you
Somebody's gonna kiss your lips
Somebody′s gonna pick you up
Carve your name′s in a tree in a heart
Get you spinnin' round the floor on a downtown Friday night
Get to holding you tight for the rest of your life
I ain′t gonna lie baby I wanna
Or somebody's gonna
If I don′t keep that smile on you
Yeah I know that I might lose
The chance that God gave to me
No it ain't hard to see that
Somebody′s gonna kiss your lips
Write you a song on an old guitar
Somebody's gonna pick you up
Carve your name's in a tree in a heart
Get you spinnin′ round the floor on a downtown Friday night
Get to holding you tight for the rest of your life
I ain′t gonna lie baby I wanna
Or sombody's gonna
Ohh somebody′s gonna
Everybody 'round these parts, they know it′s true
Somebody's gonna get down on a knee with a ring and marry you
Somebody′s gonna show you off
Let em' know that you're their girl
Sombody′s gonna take your hand
Make you the center of their whole world
Somebody′s gonna kiss your lips
Write you a song on an old guitar
Somebody's gonna pick you up
Carve your name′s in a tree in a heart
Get you spinnin' round the floor on a downtown Friday night
Get to holding you tight for the rest of your lives
I ain′t gonna lie baby I wanna
No I ain't gonna lie baby I wanna
Or somebody′s gonna
You know I wanna or somebody's gonna
