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
