Question
i remember a song in the 80's by a female artist i don't remember the artist name or the name of the song but the lyrics in it go "if she wants a man who'll take the ring off of his hand then turn around and say that he'll be true then she deserves you" i have searched everywhere for it and can't find anything

Answer
Hi Tonia!  The song you're looking for is called "She Deserves You," by Baillie and The Boys.  Hope this helps!

Baillie And The Boys - "She Deserves You"

You say she deserves you more than me
You say she's the kind of woman I could never be
Cause she can make you feel the way I did in my younger days
When our love was new, well she don't know you like I do

Chorus
And if she wants a man
Who'll take the ring off of his hand
And then turn around and say that he'll be true
Then she deserves you

You promise her the moon and she believes
She's innocent and trusting just like I used to be
You say that when you hold her, you forget that you've grown older
And that might be true but she don't know you like I do

Chorus
Bridge:
Remember when you tell her that you'll stay with her forever
There was a time you said those words to me

Chorus

Expertise

I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.

Experience

I've been a country music fan for all of my 20+ years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!

Education/Credentials
Juris Doctor. (So if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have the research skills to figure it out!)
