"I Don't Think I Will" is a song written by Doug Johnson, and recorded by American country music artist James Bonamy. It was released on May 14, 1996 as the third single from the album What I Live to Do. The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and is his highest-charting single.
