Lately she's found the strength to go out

And have some fun

It hasn't been long since love went wrong

And they broke up

There's no diamond on her finger

Just a lingerin' memory

And a ring where a ring used to be



There's a ring where a ring used to be

She's still chained to the man who set her free

A circle that would join them for all eternity

Is just a ring (just a ring)

Where a ring (where a ring)

Used to be



You think you know her well enough

To take her home

She likes you too but you'd better learn

You've got to go slow

You can hold her but you can't touch her

The closer, and you'll see

There's a ring (there's a ring)

Where a ring (where a ring)

Used to be



There's a ring where a ring used to be

She's still chained to the man who set her free

A circle that would join them for all eternity

Is just a ring (just a ring)

Where a ring (where a ring)

Used to be

just a ring (just a ring)

Where his ring (where his ring)

Used to be
