Gems and Rubies

Everyone gets paid and I get paid on time Split the cash four ways and I spend what's mine At the end of a day, I'm wondering what the hell I do? I've been singing songs to you Maybe what they need is my tender song How I long to touch their hearts, send their hearts along Will I sing in anger, sing another broken tune Like I'm often prone to do? It's all I knew how All I ever wanted anyhow It's all I know how to do Will I sing to condemn the present times Like souls still fighting for their lives And learn to [???] back then I thought we knew Guess we never really do Sure, as the evening fell and our hearts went down I will surely fall back into myself Gems and rubies out my mouth I never knew all these things I had for you It's all I knew how All I ever wanted anyhow It's all I know how to do
