Låttexter: Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince. Ring My Bell.
Verse 1:
Yo baby you know wassup
Girl you can call me up
And you and I can talk
For hours and hours at a time
This is an invitation
To a conversation
So when things get bad
You know I'll be there to soothe your mind
Just call me up on the telephone
When you're all alone
I'll give you a verbal massage
Until your man gets home
Or if you want to you know what you could do?
Well, you could always hop in your car
And you can come and ring my bell
Chorus:
Ring my bell
Ring my bell, my bell
Ring my bell
Ring my bell, my bell
Ring-a-ling-a-ling
Verse 2:
Girl the way he treats you
It's a cryin' shame
Like you're a toy
And like your life is just some silly game
How long you gonna live
In a situation like this
Cause you're a princess, baby
And you deserve a prince
Why can't you see it?
It's plain as day, right here before your eyes
I'm tellin' the truth
While your man insists on tellin' you lies
He stays out all night
But I be home by 8
And what about lovin'? (heh)
It's GGGGRRREEAT!
I don't mean to salt your man up
But I'm tryin' to plan
The rest of our lives together forever and ever
But first you've got to stand up
Pick yourself up on your own 2
Cause girl, don't nobody own you
You don't feel well and I can tell
But I'll be here so ring my bell
Chorus
You can ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ding dong ding hey hey ring it
You, you can ring my bell
Anytime, anyplace
Ring it, ring it,
Ring it, ring it,
Ooooooohhhhh!
Verse 3:
Open up your mind
And you can see that I'm
Just tryin' to make you happy
Like I said a thousand times
If you didn't love me
You wouldn't be calling me up every night
So wipe your tears
Cause you and your man just had another fight
Who loves you baby?
I do, you know
He doesn't care about you
Let him go
Where's he at now?
You don't know
Layin' up under some...
Hold up, wait
Just let me chill
No need for me to get ill
Cause every time your heart gets knocked over
You know I'll wipe the spill
I know this sounds like a fairy tale
But this ain't no children's book
I'm here
For you to take me, dear
Just open your eyes
And look at what the future holds for you
And if you lunch then you might ruin something great
Don't make a big mistake
Pay attention to what you're doin'
Life is full of pitfalls, ups and downs
It's sort of a mission
Now you're on a rocky road but you can get off
Just make the decision
That you want someone to love you, adore you
And hold you and treat you well
So when you're ready to be treated that way
Baby, you can ring my bell
Chorus
Yo baby you know wassup
Girl you can call me up
And you and I can talk
For hours and hours at a time
This is an invitation

Chorus:
Ring my bell
Ring my bell, my bell
Ring my bell
Ring my bell, my bell
