My mama told me never to run with scissors. I listened to everything she said. Never told me that a boy would break my heart, But that I’d be breaking theirs instead. And she was right in some ways. And a mother’s wisdom can save a girl From making the same mistakes.
Chorus: Cause wearing a ring means nothing If love don’t play a part. It’s like wearing an evening dress To a party that never starts. I’m wearing all these masks Just to hide my weathered heart. I’ll wear you on my sleeve Just to carry you around with me.
And mama told me that it was my decision If he left, or if he stayed. I said pack your things and get on the next plane. Been too long since your love began to fade.
Cause wearing a ring means nothing If love don’t play a part. It’s like wearing an evening dress To a party that never starts. I’m wearing all these masks Just to hide my weathered heart. I’ll wear you on my sleeve Just to carry you around with me.
And 20 years is a long time To be telling lies. Saw the pain in heart When I saw the look in her eyes.
Cause wearing a ring means nothing If love don’t play a part. It’s like wearing an evening dress To a party that never starts. I’m wearing all these masks Just to hide my weathered heart. I’ll wear you on my sleeve Just to carry you around with me.
