Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) Lyrics
You're all wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. Listen again, and you will clearly hear her sing, "All the single LETTUCE."
It's about lonely salad.
I would totally put an onion ring on it. Poor lettuce.

It is obvious what this song means. It is about how she is now with another man, engaged/married and her ex boyfriend is jealous. She is saying that he can't be mad because not only could he not give her what she needed (real love) but he didn't propose any commitment (didn't put a ring on it). Someone else did. Too bad, so sad.
Me and my friend think that this song has a hidden dedication to Mario and Princess Peach.
You can clearly hear throughout the song that there is a similar sound to when Mario Jumps in the game. We think that Beyonce is trying to suggest that after all these years Mario and Peach should finally get married. This would also mean that Mario wouldn't have to be so worried about Bowser any more because We're sure that he wouldn't try and kidnap and romance a married woman.
[We're deadly serious]

I think the ring is a symbol for commitment, not just exclusively marriage. It's basically a song with the message that if you like a person but won't commit to them because you still want to get with other people, the tables might turn and you might end up being the lonely one.

Don't you people ever think that some songs are just written for fun. You know, sheer enjoyment? I do love songs that deep, and make you really think. Everybody just loves a song that tears at the heart strings and makes them feel emotions that they rarely feel. But, on the other hand, why be so serious? Just because, Beyonce isn't out there singing about some type of love she has for someone/something or singing about politics, doesn't make this a bad song. The point is, if that man really wanted her, he would have stayed. Regaurdless of giving her a ring or not. It is what the ring is representing.
Not to mention, if you don't like this song, you most likely do not like Beyonce. Why you even bothered to search lyrics and post nonsense is beyond me. Now, that is truly pathetic.
I think I can pinpoint for you why people care - because this song is not just sending a vibe of enjoyment into the world, it's not just about dancing or having friends or loving life - it's sending a message to thousonds of young, impressionable people that superificial, materialistic commitment is the only thing that is important. It's addressing it as if all women need and want this ring and that form of commitment!

As for saying "f that man really wanted her, he would have stayed. Regaurdless of giving her a ring or not."... well where in the...
As for saying "f that man really wanted her, he would have stayed. Regaurdless of giving her a ring or not."... well where in the song does it say this? It doesn't say who left who, but it does seem to address the issue that if she had gotten a ring out of it, she would have stayed... to me it's giving off the impression that she left because she didn't get the ring.
I'm all for songs that are just for fun, I seem to remember seeing an early interview with Lady Gaga about 'Just Dance' saying that there needed to be more fun loving, pure pop songs, just meant for dancing and making you feel good rather than their meaning. The problem with this song is that it masquerades as a fun pop song but it has a more deep, harmful message which leaves a lot of girls singing IF YOU LIKE IT THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT A RING ON IT... thinking that marriage is the only form of communication. It's not empowering in the slightest like lots of people think, its just another song where feminism has gone wrong.
K I like this song its catchy. The meaning is what everyone is saying. But the way I percieve it is single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) You can also take it as in if your single who cares if you dont got a man. Put a ring to show your single. put a ring on it.
this song is definitly about halo 3. it was not beyonce, but the forerunners who originally thought of a super ring which could destroy planets. do not be deceived by her lies. she may also tell you that you get recon armour for a con-splatter (another example of her witchcraft and spellcasting). also people, the rings have been destroyed. i made sure of that yesterday while playing the campaign on ledgendary (the grunt birthday party skull was on...HARDCORE!!!!) CTS REP
I object to the idea that if he wanted to keep her he should have proposed. He should have (both of them, actually) worked to fix the problems in the relationship. If it was simply that it wasn't real love, then why would she even have said yes?
i don't like this song, but he video's even worse.what' with the bionic hand shit?al she does is say the same three hings ver and over.she an do better, and i don't get how this one hs gotten a vide when others haven't.she's obviously talented, but this song is just horrendous
This song is worthless. Why is putting a ring on it such a big deal anyway? Like it's a big prize. Any woman who only wants that rock probably isn't worth having. Jay-Z is probably kicking himself. Okay, she is incredibly sexy, so maybe not yet. But he will be. Anyway, the point is, the guy in the song probably didn't put a ring on it because he knew she was a gold digger, and wanted him to spend his money on the sweat of diamond miners.
God. This song is not at all original, although obviously it is quite catchy. And the lyrics leave much to be desired: "Is a man that makes me, then takes me, and delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond!"
Are you serious? I'm not even close to being a feminazi, but the misogyny of that lyrics quite simply boggles me. Here is one of the most powerful ladies currently in the music business, and this is how she feels about herself? That a man is what "makes [her]"?
Well, at least Jay-Z and she won't have any conflicts. Sigh.
