Bobby got down on his knees, said "becky would you marry me"
He slipped that ring up on her hand
She ran home to show her mom, said "look here what i've got on"
That diamond sparkled on the band
She looked her daughter in the eye, said "girl you are so young
I just pray that in your heart you know that he's the one

'cause without love it don't mean a thing
It's just a rock on a golden ring
You could take it down to an old pawn shop or toss it in the sea
'cause without love it don't mean a thing"

Five years down a rocky road, bobby had some doubts you know
He said "i'm not sure i feel the same"
She packed up her old suit case, note said "bobby, here's your space
I can't stay if your heart's really changed"
He found the ring beside the pen and tears illed up his eyes
It read "p.s., don't you realize

'cause without love it don't mean a thing
It's just a rock on a golden ring
You could take it down to an old pawn shop or toss it in the sea
'cause without love it don't mean a thing"

He found her at her mama's house, said "girl you gotta change your mind
You were talking about your ring, but i'm talking about my life

'cause without love it don't mean a thing
You're my rock, here's your golden ring
I'm begging you to take it back, baby now i see
That without love it don't mean a thing

Oh, now without love it don't mean a thing"
