Lyrics
She keeps asking, when we gonna settle down
All her friends have a ring
And she alone look like a clown
So, when we gonna settle down
Settle down, settle down
Oh, oh, yeah
Got a thing for you, girl
Bring your finger, mek me put it on 'pon it
Tek you out of this world
Single life no fit you none at all, no
Regular you drop your hints dem
Just gwaan like me no hear
Save up and buy the things dem
Fi surprise you this year
Oh, girl
Hear the bells, Lord
Thing a ling a ling
Thing a ling a ling, whoa
Wedding bells, Lord
Thing a ling a ling

You ready fi we settle down
And start move very steady
Oh, hear the bells in my head
Oh, yes

And your mother waan know why we not
She say a long time we deh full time we tie the knot
One year me buy you a necklace

You get whole heap a nice things when a valentines
And pretty flowers when a spring time
First class ticket me buy when a foreign time
But right yah now me realize a ring time, 'cause

And look inna meself and realize nuff a your time me take up
