Lyrics:

Intro : Riff 1 x2 and subsequently throughout (W/Fill 1 on repeat)

I’m glad you’re home
Well, did you really miss me?
I guess you did by the look in your eye (look in your eye, look in your eye)
Well lay back and relax while I put away the dishes
Then you and me can rock a bell

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell W/fill 2
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell W/fill 3
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell W/fill 2
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell W/fill 3

(Same fill layout for subsequent choruses)

The night is young and full of possibilities
Well come on and let yourself be free
My love for you, so long I’ve been savin’
Tonight was made for me and you

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ring-a-ling-a-ling)

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ring-a-ling-a-ling)

(you can ring my bell, you can ring my bell
ding, dong, ding, ah-ah, ring it!
you can ring my bell, anytime, anywhere
ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it, oww!
you can ring my bell, you can ring my bell
ding, dong, ding, ah-ah, ring it!
you can ring my bell, anytime, anywhere
ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it, oww!)

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ring-a-ling-a-ling)

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ring-a-ling-a-ling
