Ring My Bell
Donna Summer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm glad you're home
And I think you really miss me
I guess you did by the look in your eyes
(look in your eyes, look in your eyes)

Well lay back and relax while I put away the dishes
(put away the dishes)
Then you and me can rock-a-bye

You can ring my bell, ring my bell
You can ring my bell, ring my bell
You can ring my bell, ring my bell
You can ring my bell, ring my bell

The night is young and full of possibilities
Well come on and let yourself be free
My love for you, so long than I've been savin'
Tonight was made for me and you

You can ring my bell, ring my bell
(ring my bell, ding dong ding)
You can ring my bell, ring my bell
(ring my bell, dingolingolin)
You can ring my bell, ring my bell
(ring my bell, ding dong ding)
You can ring my bell, ring my bell
(ring my bell, dingolingolin)

you can ring my bell, you can ring my bell
(ding, dong, ding, do-ong)
you can ring my bell, anytime, anyway
(ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it oww!)
you can ring my bell, anytime, anyway
(ding, dong, ding, do-ong)
you can ring my bell, anytime, anyway
(ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it oww!)

You can ring my bell, ring my bell
(ring my bell, ding dong ding)
You can ring my bell, ring my bell
(ring my bell, dingolingolin)
You can ring my bell, ring my bell
(ring my bell, ding dong ding)




You can ring my bell, ring my bell
(ring my bell, dingolingolin)

This was one of my favorite jams, back in the day.

@lilizzy434

who can ever forget the disco times it still is the best of music for dancing

@mrpsycholeojoey87

I agree with you. Preach on. If it wasnt for the disco era, there may be no club or house music, which dominate the music world today. So many great hits came out of the disco era. This is one of my favorite songs of the 70s as well as all time. God Bless.

Bought ten 8 tracks for a penny without mom’s permission. This album was one of the 10. Thanks mom for not making me return it. 🎼🍻

@davidarellano3572

Hay que corregir. Como dice la mayoría, esta canción es de ANITA WARD y no de Donna Summer. Son voces y estilos diferentes pese a pertenecer a una misma corriente
