something with a ring to it

she wants something with a ring to it

like a church bell makes

like a pretty white gown to wear

and some vows to take

she wants something with a ring to it

i think i understand

gonna have to put a ring on her finger

if i'm gonna be her man

my baby's playin' hard to please

and i think i figured out

what it is she wants from me

'cause when i hold her close

when we go out at night

i can hardly see the moonlight

for the diamonds in her eyes

she wants something with a ring to it

like a church bell makes

like a pretty white gown to wear

and some vows to take

she wants something with a ring to it

i think i understand

gonna have to put a ring on her finger

if i'm gonna be her man

my baby did but now she don't

and if i don't say i do

it's a safe bet that she won't

love me like she used to

when our love first began

now the only way to change her tune

is with a wedding band

she wants something with a ring to it

like a church bell makes

like a pretty white gown to wear

and some vows to take

she wants something with a ring to it

i think i understand

gonna have to put a ring on her finger

if i'm gonna be her man
