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
