Ring Off

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
 Mama (so sexy), you live and learn, that's just the way life goes
 (Uh, you a killer, you a killer, killer)
 Always know that you've got a daughter
 That's so, so proud you took the high road
 (You a killer) you so sexy
 You used to dress and fix your hair
 You'd always smiled through your tears
 And 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
 And then had enough, and 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
 Now after all your tears
 After all that pain's all clear, mama
 After all them years
 We can start all over again, mama
 And now it all makes sense
 Letting go is never the end, mama
 We can love again
 This is where freedom begins, mama
 So put your love on top
 Keep on shinin', put your love on top
 It's your time to put your love on top
 Everybody, put your love on top
 Aye, love on top
 Aye, love on top
 It's your time to put your love on top
 Girl, you so fine, put your love on top
 If you're going through it, just know it's called "Going through it"
 You're not gonna get stuck there, you're not gonna die
 You're gonna survive
