No Rings No Strings

No rings no strings
But I'll take your fun and laughter
I'll walk in your sunshine I'll sing in your rain
Cause it's only the good times I'm after

Don't try to build a fence around me
Or a golden castle by the shinin' sea
Cause I won't stay
I'm not your book I'm just a page
And I don't belong in a gilded cage
Someday I'll fly away

I never did take to a ring on my finger
I'd rather move on and let the memory linger
Chasin' your fun and laughter
Cause it's only the good times I'm after

No rings no strings...
[ instrumental ]
Don't waste your tear cause it's more than I'm worth
And I could never be your heaven on earth
If I wanted to try
I could only stay for a little while
Till I saw the sunset begin to smile
Sayin' tell him goodbye

Rings have been known to slip offa my finger
Cause I'm just a song that don't need a singer
Chasin' your fun and laughter
Cause it's only the good times I'm after

No rings no strings...
Yes it's only the good times I'm after
