Mood Rings is the second song on Relient K’s third album, Two Lefts Don’t Make a Right… But Three Do.
The song is about a man’s frustration in trying to understand emotional women. He jokingly plans to use mood rings to tell what emotional state they’re in and better communicate.
[Verse 1]
We all know the girls that I am talking about
Well, they are time bombs and they are ticking
And the only question's when they'll blow up
And they'll blow up, we know that without a doubt
'Cause they're those girls, yeah, you know those girls
That let their emotions get the best of them
Go!
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've contrived some sort of a plan
To help my fellow man
[Chorus]
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
'Cause we'll know just what they're thinking
Just what they're thinking
[Post-Chorus]
She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way
Her moods are swinging on the swing-set almost everyday
She said to me that she's so happy it's depressing
And all I said was, "Someone get that girl a mood ring!"
[Verse 2]
If it's drama you want, then look no further
They're like The Real World meets Boy Meets World
Meets Days of Our Lives
And it just kills me how they get away with murder
They'll anger you then bat their eyes
Those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize
Go!
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've contrived some sort of a plan
To help my fellow man
[Chorus]
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
'Cause we'll know just what they're thinking
Just what they're thinking
[Post-Chorus]
She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way
Her moods are swinging on the swing-set almost everyday
She said to me that she's so stressed out that it's soothing
And all I said was, "Someone get that girl a mood ring!"
[Bridge]
'Cause when it's black means "watch your back" because you're probably
The last person in the world right now she wants to see
And when it's blue it means you should call her up immediately
And ask her out because she'll most likely agree
And when it's green it simply means that she is really stressed
And when it's clear it means she's completely emotionless
And that's all right, I must confess
[Verse 3]
We all know the girls that I am talking about
She likes you Wednesday, but now it's Friday
And she has to wash her hair
And it just figures that we'll never figure them out (Ooh)
Well, first she's Jekyll and then she's Hyde
At least she makes a lovely pair
[Outro]
Mood ring, oh, mood ring
Oh, tell me will you bring the key
To unlock this mystery?
Of girls and their emotions
Play it back in slow motion
So I may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind
Huh, that was terrible
