[Verse 1]
Where were you on our wedding day?
I got bad news that you went away
Where were you on our wedding day?
You did me wrong, now you must pay

[Chorus]
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
Give me back my ring (my ring)
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
I ain't gonna let you keep a thing (a thing)
Whoa oh (bada bada bada)

[Verse 2]
Where were you when I said "I do"?
Everybody laughed and my inlaws too
Where were you when I turned around?
Some place you knew you never could be found

[Chorus]
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
Give me back my ring (my ring)
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
I ain't gonna let you keep a thing (a thing)
Whoa oh (bada bada bada)

[Saxophone breakdown]

[Verse 3]
Where were you when I searched the town
And turned the whole neighborhood upside down?
Where were you little girl I say?
Where were you on our wedding day?

[Chorus]
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
Give me back my ring (my ring)
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
I ain't gonna let you keep a thing (a thing)
Whoa oh (bada bada bada)

Billy Joel

Billy Joel (born May 9, 1949) is an American pianist, singer/songwriter, producer, and composer who ranks as one of the most iconic and influential artists from the mid to late 20th century.

He is the sixth best-selling recording artist and the third best-selling solo artist in the United States, wrote a total of 121 songs that achieved 33 Top 40 hits in the US, a 6-time Grammy winner out of 23 nominations, and one of the best-selling recording artists of all-time with 150 million albums sold worldwide.

Joel has since continued to tour and sells out in stadiums globally. He also delved into classical music composition, arranging an album, Fantasies and Delusions released in 2001, opened a motorcycle shop on his native Long Island, and is now regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Among his numerous accolades, he was inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992, bestowed with the Kennedy Center Honors in 2013, and awarded the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song by the Library of Congress in 2014.
