On the track, Beyonce sings;
Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights . When you sit and you think about Father. Or how you tried to be the perfect wife/ You used to dress and fix your hair . Then you smiled through your tears . In the mirror you would stare . And say a prayer lLike, "I wish he said I'm beautiful . I wish it didn't hurt at all. I don't know how I got here . I was once the one who had his heart"/Until you had enough then you took that ring off .
You took that ring off. So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying. Took that ring off . Oh, now the fun begins . Dust yourself off and you love again. You found a new man now you shine and you're fine . Like it's my time, you took that ring off...
