I love this song, and I want a man to feel this intensely for me one day.
That said the meaning is pretty straight forward. He's madly in love with this woman and wants to give her everything, but at the moment he can't. He's telling her, "I will give you a ring and commit myself to you right now, even though it won't be what you've dreamed of, because I love you with all my heart." He's promising her that though things are hard right now, financially and career wise it seems, he's working his butt off to get to the level where he can give her all the things he knows she dreams of (a gold and diamond ring, a big house on the hill). He's asking her to stand with him, despite her friends' and family's reservations about him, because as soon as it gets better, he's going to give her all the things she's dreamed of. It's also showing how he's willing to give her everything because she is his everything. He doesn't need anything else other than her which is why he repeats the first verse at the close of the song. He's asking her to wear this cheap plastic ring because all he needs is her love.
