Something With a Ring to It

Mark Collie


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 playing hard to please 
And think I figured out 
What it is she wants from me 
'Cause when I holder 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
