Ring Off
[Verse 1]Mama, I understand your many sleepless nightsWhen you sit and you think about FatherOr how you tried to be the perfect wife
[Pre-Hook]You used to dress and fix your hairThen you smiled through your tearsIn the mirror you would stareAnd say a prayerLike, "I wish he said I'm beautifulI wish it didn't hurt at allI don't know how I got hereI was once the one who had his heart"
[Hook]Until you had enough then you took that ring offYou took that ring offSo tired of the lies and trying, fighting, cryingTook that ring offOh, now the fun beginsDust yourself off and you love againYou found a new man now you shine and you're fineLike it's my time, you took that ring off
[Verse 2]Mama (so sexy), you live and learn, that's just the way life goes(Uh, you a killer, you a killer, killer)Always know that you've got a daughterThat's so, so proud you took the high road(You a killer, so sexy)
[Pre-Hook] + [Hook]
[Bridge]After all your tearsAfter all that pain's all clearMama, after all them yearsWe can start all over againMama, and now it all makes senseLetting go is never the endMama, we can love againThis is where freedom begins
[Outro]Mama, so put your love on topYou gon' shine and put your love on topIt's your time to put your love on topEverybody put your love on topAye, love on topAye, love on topIt's your time to put your love on topGirl you so fine, put your love on top
[Outro Skit: Tina Knowles]If you're going through it, just know it's called "going THROUGH it"You're not gonna get stuck there, you're not gonna dieYou're gonna survive
