Staring at shadows on the wall
Wish I knew of someone I could call
Someone who might understand it all
Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me

Someone lying with me in my bed
Some stranger who don´t understand my head
Wish it was you lying here instead
Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me

Drowning in a sea of pretty faces
Being quite the man about the town
Packing up and going pretty places
But I sure miss you around

Listen to the noises down the hall
Think I´ll move out of here in the fall
Ain´t exactly having me a ball
Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me

Drowning in a sea of pretty faces
Being quite the man about the town
Packing up and going pretty places
But I sure miss you around

Listen to the noises down the hall
Wishin´ there was someone out to call
Ain´t exactly having me a ball
Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me
