The Ring
Unveiling the Essence of True Love: The Ring by Nicole C. Mullen
Lyrics
Got a call from my old friend
Received a call from an old friend
Said she fell in love again
Friend informed that she has fallen in love again
But there's one thing she should know
There's important advice to share about love
Real true love will only grow
Real, true love grows and develops
Grow like flowers from the rain
Love grows like flowers nurtured by rain
Mystery I can't explain
There's a mysterious aspect that can't be explained
But this one thing I can do
Despite mysteries, the speaker can provide advice
Is lay out the facts for you
Speaker will present the facts about love
True love is faithful
True love is characterized by faithfulness
Like spring in April
Comparing true love to the reliability of spring in April
It is as dependable as time
True love is as dependable as time
And it is able
It has the ability to endure and survive
To hold on and survive
True love can hold on when other loves fade away
When other loves might say goodbye
Reiteration of the strength of true love
*chorus
Chorus section begins
If you want to step to me
Warning that one should be cautious when approaching the speaker
You better know one thing
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the speaker's love
This love I got you'll never get
True love is not attainable without a wedding ring
Without a wedding ring
Highlighting the commitment associated with marriage
Friend called back said can it be
Friend confirms her love, seeking validation
I love him, him love me
Expressing mutual love, but he refuses marriage
But he said he'll never wed
Prefer playing the field over commitment
Rather play the field instead
Fields symbolize potential partners
Fields of taller grassy green
Describing lush and tempting fields
Kind you find in magazines
Similar to the type of fields depicted in magazines
Well I said if that be so
Speaker suggests letting him go if he chooses that path
By all means then let him go
Reiterating the importance of faithfulness in love
True love is faithful
Reiteration of the faithfulness of true love
Like spring in April
Comparison of true love to the dependability of spring
It is as dependable as time
True love is as dependable as time
And it is able
It has the ability to endure and survive
To hold on and survive
True love can withstand challenges
When other loves might say goodbye
Reiterating the endurance of true love
*chorus
Chorus section repeated
A to the be be to the see
Alphabets used metaphorically to convey fundamental principles
Elementary fundamentals is the way you found me
Speaker was initially lost but found through fundamental principles
I was lost, lost as could be
Describing a past state of being lost
Also blind, but now I see
Now the speaker has gained insight and clarity
*chorus
Chorus section repeated
What I got is priceless
Emphasizing the value of what the speaker possesses
What I got is special
Highlighting the uniqueness and special nature of the speaker's love
What I got is precious
Emphasizing the preciousness of what the speaker has
