Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights When you sit and you think about Father Or how you tried to be the perfect wife
You used to dress and fix your hair Then you smiled through your tears In the mirror you would stare And say a prayer Like 'I wish he said I'm beautiful I wish it didn't hurt at all I don't know how I got here I was once the one who had his heart'
Until you had enough then you took that ring off You took that ring off So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying Took that ring off Oh, now the fun begins Dust yourself off and you love again You found a new man now you shine and you're fine Like it's my time, you took that ring off
