Ruby Red

Ruby Red is what she said That's when I knew I was misled Sat up and I hit my head I shut my eyes and went to bed And in my sleep I hear her speak I didn't wake up for a week She called my name, so cold and weak I had to turn the other cheek She never told me why she left She just said she's Ruby Red Never cared what people said Said it's in my head She never begged, never said who Way with words was my disease She left me here on my knees She's such a tease Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Night ends and she fades away No matter if I beg her, stay When she comes back, I'm her prey In a ruby red '64 Chevrolet She said that nothing's as it seems Then I found her in my dreams She was slipping through the seams I held her by a string Oh, Ruby, Ruby, won't you stay I wanna be you every day But Ruby's always disobeyed Through my tears she slipped away Hey I never liked you anyway You have to care what people say And through my ruby red tears she slipped away And then I saw her in the mirror Only for her to disappear I heard her whisper in my ear You'll never be like me Oh, Ruby, Ruby, won't you stay I wanna be you every day But Ruby's always disobeyed Through my tears she slipped away
