Charley Pride – Does My Ring Hurt Your Finger Lyrics
Does my ring hurt your finger
When you go out at night?
When I bought if for you darling
It seemed to fit just right
Should I take it to the jeweler
So it won’t fit so tight?
Does my ring hurt your finger
When you go out at night?
Did you enjoy yourself last night dear
How was the show?
You know I don’t mind it
When you go
I understand we all need time alone
But why do you always leave your ring at home?
Does my ring hurt your finger
When you’re away from me?
I’m so proud when you wear it
For all the world to see
Should I take it to the jeweler
So it won’t fit so tight?
Does my ring hurt your finger
When you go out at night?
Does my ting hurt your finger
When you go out at night?
GENIUS
