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
