(don goodman, pam rose, mary ann kennedy)
I stood before god, my family and friends
And vowed that i'd never love anyone else again
Only him
As pure as my gown of white i stood by his side
And promised that i'd love him till the day i died
Lord, please forgive me even though i lied
'cause you're the only one who knows just how hard i tried
Chorus:
I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands
The woman in me needed the warmth of a man
The gold turned cold in my wedding band
It's just a ring on your finger
When there's time on your hands
When i add up all the countless nights i cried myself to sleep
And all the broken promises you somehow failed to keep
He can't blame me
He's the one who left me too many times alone
In a three bedroom prison i tried to make a home
My love slowly died but the fire inside still burned
And the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn
Repeat chorus
Repeat chorus
