Got the word from an old friend, we used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on in the Hobbiton way
Sold Bag End, changed his name, bought a place out in Crickhollow
Now he's having a tough time far far away
Frodo:
I don't care what you say any more this is my Ring
I don't want you to tell me to throw it away
I don't care what you say any more this is my Ring
What are you, my conscience? Just leave me alone.
Background singers:
Keep it for myself, it's my Ring [repeat]
Frodo:
I think it's time to give myself a second chance
Why should I subordinate myself to Gandalf's plans?
I'm on your side, but I've got pride
You can save the West, but not with my hide
Gandalf tells me I have to keep it in a safe place
Elrond tells me I can't use the Ring for myself.
First they lost it for three thousand years without a trace
Now they say I should sacrifice myself for an Elf.
I don't need you to worry for me, I'm in charge now
I do not choose now to do what I came here to do
I don't care what you say anymore this is my Ring
Go and look for your own Ring, leave me alone
Background singers:
Keep it for myself, it's my Ring [repeat and fade]
