Wear My Ring
Bart Crow Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Said you wanna stand there with your arms around me
But I can't feel you, it's kinda like a dream

Then you walk out with another Lord
My jaw hits the floor
It's kinda like a dream

Said little angel with the bottle
I don't love you anymore
Yeah, I spent some time out with the devil
Oh, but you don't hurt me anymore

Yeah, I waste my time
And I waste my money
On a broken dream
'Cause you wouldn't wear my ring
Baby give me back my ring

One day you'll look back
Baby when you're all alone
Just wonderin' to yourself, just where in the hell did I have gone

And I'll be down the road
Like a thousand times before
And you'll be sittin' home
With your jaw on the floor

Said little angel with the bottle
I don't love you anymore
Yeah, I spent some time out with the devil
Oh, but you don't hurt me anymore

Yeah, I waste my time
And I waste my money
On a broken dream
'Cause you wouldn't wear my ring
Baby give me back my ring

Said little angel with the bottle
I don't love you anymore
Yeah, I spent some time out with the devil
Oh, but you don't hurt me anymore

Said little angel with the bottle
I don't love you anymore




Yeah, I spent some time out with the devil
Oh, but you don't hurt me anymore

Overall Meaning

The Bart Crow Band's song Wear My Ring is a ballad about unrequited love and heartbreak. In the first verse, the singer tells the story of how his lover, despite being physically present and holding him in her arms, is emotionally distant, and he cannot feel her love. The situation gradually worsens, and the singer is ultimately betrayed when he sees his lover with another man. The situation is almost hard for him to believe, as though he's living a dream. The second verse describes the aftermath of the breakup, with the singer finally realizing that his lover is no longer the angel he thought she was but has turned into the devil that broke his heart. He expresses his hurt by noting that he wasted his time and money on a broken dream and pleaded for his ring back. The final verse serves as a warning to the ex-lover that she will someday regret the way she treated him, and he will have moved on, leaving her alone with her regret.


The song's overall theme is the pain of unrequited love and the uncertainty and confusion that comes with the end of a relationship. The use of the metaphor of the ring adds depth to the song by representing the singer's commitment to the relationship and the loss after it's over. The song sounds like it's narrated by someone who experienced a difficult relationship, which makes it relatable to listeners who have gone through a similar experience.

You claim you want to embrace me, but I can't sense your presence; it feels unreal and surreal.


Then you walk out with another Lord My jaw hits the floor It's kinda like a dream
It's shocking to see you with someone else after expressing love for me. It's hard to believe it's real.

You were once my little angel but now, you claim you don't love me. I spent time with someone manipulative and hurtful, but they don't harm me anymore.


Yeah, I waste my time And I waste my money On a broken dream 'Cause you wouldn't wear my ring Baby give me back my ring
I spent my time and money hoping for a love with you, but it didn't work out. You wouldn't commit to me, so please return my ring.


One day you'll look back Baby when you're all alone Just wonderin' to yourself, just where in the hell did I have gone And I'll be down the road Like a thousand times before And you'll be sittin' home With your jaw on the floor
When you're alone in the future, you'll wonder where I went, and I'll be far away. This is not the first time that I've left you, and you'll be surprised and shocked when you realize it.
