Put a ring on it!

So she can take it off.

Until you had enough then you took that ring off
You took that ring off
So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying
Took that ring off
Oh, now the fun begins
Dust yourself off and you love again
You found a new man now you shine and you’re fine

2. 2008:  Put a ring on it.
3. 2013:  The Mrs. Carter World Tour.
4. 2014:  Ring Off (a divorce empowerment anthem for her mother)
