Sammi Smith - Rings for Sale lyrics

rate me

(John Hadley)

I've got rings for sale *and* they're all made out of nails

That I ** polished *on* the bottom of my shoes

* can give one to a friend or you can bend it back again

And pretend I sold *A* shiny nail to you.

I've got a story for you and I swear that it's all true

Because I made it up myself and I don't lie

* you can tell it to a friend or you can bend it back again

Into a telegram a headline *or a* sign.

I've got *some* love to *lend* that I borrowed from a friend

And I said I'd give it back when I got through

*now a year has come and gone* and I've got some of my own

I can *give it back and still have some for you.

I've got a dream to share and you can take it everywhere

Close *your* eyes and see the pleasure it can bring

But if you're not the dreaming kind well I *guess* that I won't mind

If you made shiny nails out of my home made rings.

I've got rings for sale they're all made out of nails

That I * polished from the bottom of my shoe*

* you can give one to a friend or you can bend it back again

And pretend I sold *a* shiny nail to you...
