This document contains the lyrics to Beyonce's song "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)". The lyrics are about a woman telling her ex that he should have committed to her by proposing marriage if he really cared about her, instead of just dating for years. Now that they have broken up, she is moving on and enjoying being single while he will regret not putting a "ring on it" and committing to her for life when he had the chance. The lyrics are repeated throughout the song to reinforce the central message.
