Ring da Bell

[Intro]

Mmm, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

I've been talkin' to

Some friends of mine about you, boy

They say you're 'bout to have a child

When you gonna tell me 'bout it?

This other chick you're sleepin' with

Now you gotta deal with it

Hope you've found happiness

I've found myself in such a mess

[Pre-Chorus 1]

With you

And I put way too much love

Into you

Thought that one day

We'll be true

And time after time

I stuck with you

But now I'm too through

[Chorus 1]

'Cause I've been the fool

Sittin' 'round too long

I think it's about time that I

Ring the bell and carry on

Forgave you before (Yes, I did, yes, I did, yes, I did)

But it's too far gone

I think it's about time that I

Ring the bell and move along

[Verse 2]

You said it was a mistake

On the night you saw her late

Must've been for pure affection

Boy, you didn't have protection

You had to think of me

But you did never see

Yourself in this predicament

You never thought that it would catch up with you

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Put way too much love

Into you

Thought that one day

We'll be true

And time after time

I stuck with you

But now I'm too through

[Chorus 2]

'Cause I've been the fool (Yeah, yeah)

Sittin' 'round too long (Sittin' 'round too long)

I think it's about time that I

Ring the bell and carry on (Oh, oh)

Forgave you before (Before)

But it's too far gone

I think it's about time that I (About time that I)

Ring the bell and move along

[Chorus 3]

'Cause I've been the fool (Baby)

Sittin' 'round too long (Baby, baby, baby)

I think it's about time that I (Ooh, ooh)

Ring the bell and move along

Forgave you before (I forgave you before, baby)

But it's too far gone

I think it's about time that I

Ring the bell and move along (Yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

How awful the way

You treated me

Gave you everything (I gave you everything, oh)

So hurt to say (I'm so hurt)

You didn't tell me

Can't wait to leave

Baby, yeah

[Chorus 3]

'Cause I've been the fool (I don't really want to know, baby)

Sittin' 'round too long (You did never really care for me)

I think it's about time (I don't really want to know, baby)

That I ring the bell and carry on (You did never really care for me)

I forgave you before (Ooh)

But it's too far gone (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I think it's about time

That I ring the bell and move along

[Outro]

'Cause I've been the fool (There goes my man)

Sittin' round too long (You're a fool, sittin' all around)
