Texty: Nana Mouskouri. Just A Ribbon.
He gave to me a silver ring to wear upon my hand
But I turned away and he heard me saying
"Ohh, he doesn't, he doesn't understand"
I don't need riches to make me care
Just a ribbon for my hair
He gave me two golden hearts to wear upon my ears
But I turned from him, so he could not see
My eyes, my eyes were filled with tears
I don't need riches to make me care
Just a ribbon for my hair
He thought I was unhappy
But he could've fought no more
So he bought me just a ribbon
For a penny at the store
He bought me just a ribbon blue to wear in my hair
Then I pressed my lips to his fingertips
Saying, "Now, now I know you care"
I don't need riches to make me care
Just a ribbon for my hair
I don't need riches to make me care
But I turned away and he heard me saying
"Ohh, he doesn't, he doesn't understand"
I don't need riches to make me care
Just a ribbon for my hair
He gave me two golden hearts to wear upon my ears
But I turned from him, so he could not see
My eyes, my eyes were filled with tears
I don't need riches to make me care
Just a ribbon for my hair
He thought I was unhappy
But he could've fought no more
So he bought me just a ribbon
For a penny at the store
He bought me just a ribbon blue to wear in my hair
Then I pressed my lips to his fingertips
Saying, "Now, now I know you care"
I don't need riches to make me care
Just a ribbon for my hair
I don't need riches to make me care
Mouskouri, Nana
