Anita Ward
Anita Ward (born December 20, 1956) is an American singer and musician. She is best known for her 1979 million selling chart-topper, "Ring My Bell".
Career
Before signing a recording contract, Ward obtained a degree in psychology from Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi, and had become a schoolteacher. While recording her debut album, record label owner Frederick Knight presented her with a song he had written the previous year for Stacy Lattisaw. Ward did not like the song, but Knight insisted that a dance track was needed to capitalize on the current disco trend, and Ward relented. The song, which was originally a juvenile-targeted tune about teens talking on the telephone, was rewritten with more 'adult' lyrics and the result was the single "Ring My Bell". The single reached number one in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada in 1979. "Ring My Bell" has been remixed and released several times since its original release. After the huge success of "Ring My Bell", "Make Believe Lovers", which was the b-side on most 12" singles for "Ring My Bell", was released, but it failed to chart.

I'm putting my trust in you
If you take your time and love me right

(Let's have a ball)
Take me higher and higher
Don't let me fall

Heaven Knows You're good for me
So I'm letting myself go
In your arms is where i wanna be
Come on and hold me close
Don't you drop
Don't drop my love
Baby, baby don't drop it
Baby, baby now don't drop it
Now don't you drop
