Diamond Ring from SASSAFRASS! by Tami Neilson

Diamond Ring
T Neilson

V1
Hit the button, elevator going up
A black leather shoe jams the door before it shuts
Big teeth talkin’ all the way to my floor
Asks for my number, I push past him out the door
Don’t need the pain that lovin’ brings
Don’t want no other man’s diamond ring

V2
I’m down at the church, singing Hymn 23
Sweet salvation from the pain you left me
Pinstriped suit asks to sit in your chair
I say it’s taken, even though you ain’t there
Don’t need the pain that lovin’ brings
Don’t want no other man’s diamond ring

CH
If there’s a table for one, then I'm gonna take it
Won’t hand over my heart for some fool break it
Don’t need the pain that lovin’ brings
Ain’t gonna wear no other man’s diamond ring

VS3
Still got your name on my mail
Got your memory on my tail
I got your ring here on my right hand
What I ain’t got is time for no other man
Don’t need that pain that lovin’ brings
Don’t want no other man’s diamond ring
