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"

And 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'll 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 filled up his eyes

It read P S don't you realize

That 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 without love
