"Ringfinger" is the tenth and final track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine, telling about a man who is devoted to a woman who refuses to commit to him and his outrage at her using him, even though he does truly desire her. The demo version of this song was called "Twist," composing of the same basic music but different lyrics and a slightly more victimizing subject matter.

Lyrics
Well you've got me working so hard lately Working my hands until they bleed If I was twice the man I could be I'd still be half of what you need Still you lead me and I follow The small of your back up to your chin Over to the tip of your switchblade As you pull it out as you stick it in (Twist twist twist) it can go a little deeper (Twist twist twist) I'm wearing these chains (wist twist twist) you make it hurt real good (Twist twist twist) I love the pain Well you just leave me nailed here Hanging like Jesus from this cross I'm just dying for your sin And aiding to the cause Wrap my soul in bandages I'm tired of this war Go ahead and cut me I can't feel it anymore (Twist twist twist) it can go a little deeper (Twist twist twist) I'm wearing these chains (Twist twist twist) you make it hurt real good (Twist twist twist) I love the pain (Twist twist twist) it can go a little deeper (Twist twist twist) I'm wearing these chains (Twist twist twist) make it hurt, make it hurt (Twist twist twist) I love the pain (Twist twist twist) (Twist twist twist) (Twist twist twist) (Twist twist twist)
Lyrics
Well you’ve got me working so hard lately Working my hands until they bleed If I was twice the man I could be I’d still be half of what you need Still you lead me and I follow Anything you ask you know I’ll do But this one act of consecration is what I ask of you Ringfinger Promise carved in stone Deeper than the sea Ringfinger Sever flesh and bone And offer it to me You just leave me nailed here Hanging like Jesus on this cross I’m just dying for your sins And aiding to the cause Ringfinger Promise carved in stone Deeper than the sea Ringfinger Sever flesh and bone And offer it to me Wrap my eyes in bandages Confessions I see through I get everything I want When I get part of you Ringfinger Promise carved in stone Deeper than the sea Ringfinger Sever flesh and bone And offer it to me Ringfinger Promise carved in stone Deeper than the sea Ringfinger Devil’s flesh and bone Do something for me I’m so tired I can’t get to sleep And the squeaking of the bed is right in time with the song that’s repeating in my head I just want you to know “When I do it, I only think of you”
