ring on her finger, time on her hands

i stood before god

my family and friends

and vowed that i'd never love anyone else again

only him

as pure as my gown of white i stood by his side

and promised that i'd love him till the day i died

lord

please forgive me even though i lied

'cause you're the only one who knows just how hard i tried

i had a ring on my finger and time on my hands

the woman in me needed the warmth of a man

the gold turned cold in my wedding band

it's just a ring on your finger

when there's time on your hands

when i add up all the countless nights i cried myself to sleep

and all the broken promises you somehow failed to keep

he can't blame me

he's the one who left me too many times alone

in a three bedroom prison i tried to make a home

my love slowly died but the fire inside still burned

and the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn

i had a ring on my finger and time on my hands

the woman in me needed the warmth of a man

the gold turned cold in my wedding band

it's just a ring on your finger

when there's time on your hands

i had a ring on my finger and time on my hands

the woman in me needed the warmth of a man

the gold turned cold in my wedding band

it's just a ring on your finger

when there's time on your hands
