Oh, oh, oh, oh -
When my bands of gold create a shadow,
You never get sunlight in your space.
You were content to let them shine, that's your way.
There's always lotion left behind.

Though they were the ones that shined so pretty,
While you were the one that looked so plain.
A white band of skin is all you were for so long.
I know my tight rings have caused you pain

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
Your indentations run so deep
You're white as the head upon an eagle,
For you are the skin beneath my rings

I don't really think you'd go unnoticed,
I take off my rings and there you are
They will always know the truth, of course they'll know it.
They'll know I'm married cuz of you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
Your indentations run so deep
You're white as the head upon an eagle,
For you are the skin beneath my rings

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
Though you'll never be as tan as me
Oh, and I, I would be lower than a Beagle,
If I did not appreciate everything,
'cause you are the skin beneath my rings.

Oh, the skin beneath my rings.
You, you, you, you are the skin beneath my rings
Dry, dry, dry some days. I have no alibi.
Oh, you, you, you, the skin beneath my rings.
Oh, you, you, you, the skin beneath my rings.

Dry, dry, dry against my thigh,
So dry some Jergens I will buy.
Thank you, thank you,
Thank God for you, the skin beneath my rings.
