Just A Ribbon

Timi Yuro

Compositor: Arthur Resnick / Bobby Scott

He gave to me a silver ring
To wear upon my hand
But I turned away
And he heard me saying
Oh! He doesn't, he doesn't understand
Refrain
I don't need riches to make me care
Just a ribbon for my hair

He gave me two golden hearts
To wear upon my ears
But I turned from him
So he could not see
My eyes, my eyes were filled with tears

He tought I was unhappy
But he could not fight no more
So he bought me just a ribbon
For a penny at the store

He bought me just a ribbon blue
To wear in my hair
Then I pressed my lips
To his fingerstips
Saying: Now, now I know you care
I don't need riches to make me care
