Won’t you wear my ring around your neckTo tell the world I’m yours, by heckLet them know I love you soAnd let them no by the ring around your neck

They say that goin’ steady is not the proper thingThey say that we’re too young to know the meaning of a ringI only know that I love you and that you love me tooSo, darling, please do what I ask of you

Won’t you wear my ring around your neckTo tell the world I’m yours, by heckLet them see your love for meAnd let them see by the ring around your neck
