Tie a ribbon on your finger for me
Because you may not see me
But I do care.
Tie a ribbon on your pinkie for me
Because I remember your birthday every year
Yet you don't call me at Christmas.
Tie a ribbon on your finger for me
Because I don't see many people
And I've met nobody new.
Tie a ribbon on your pinkie for me
Because I'm asking you to
Even though you owe me nothing.
Tie a ribbon on your finger for me
Because I don't leave my house anymore
But I want to.
Tie a ribbon on your pinkie for me
Because I'm begging you to
And I never beg.
Tie a ribbon on your finger for me
Because I would do it
If you asked me to.
Tie a ribbon on your pinkie for me
Because I need something
To hold onto.
Tie a ribbon on your finger for me
Because I want to be remembered
Now that I'm gone.
