LYRICS

Won't you wear my ring around your neck

To tell the world I'm yours, by heck?

Let them see your love for me

And let them see by the ring around your neck

Won't you wear my ring around your neck

To tell the world I'm yours, by heck?

Let them know I love you so

And let them know by the ring around your neck

Well, they say that goin' steady is not the proper thing

They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring

I only know that I love you and that you love me too

So, darling, this is what I ask of you

Won't you wear my ring around your neck

To tell the world I'm yours, by heck?

Let them see your love for me

And let them see by the ring around your neck

Well, they say that goin' steady is not the proper thing

They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring

I only know that I love you and that you love me too

So, darling, this is what I beg of you

Won't you wear my ring around your neck

To tell the world I'm yours, by heck?

Let them know I love you so

And let them know by the ring around your neck

And let them know by the ring around your neck

And let them know by the ring around your neck
