Thirsty as a river runs deep for you

Lost in the wind

Bird with no wings, without a child

The songs you sing, well, they keep me coming back

Speak the words I lack

You're the hunger, you're the heartache

Oh, Ruby

Ruby Blue

It's all because

Because of you

Well, I wanted more, but all I got

Was ten cents short of a broken heart

Ruby, Ruby Blue

When I was a child, you were a seed inside my soul

Who'd have known you'd grow

To be such a part of me?

Now you got me beggin', borrowin' and stealin'

Always wantin' more

Oh, more, more, more

Oh, Ruby

Ruby Blue

It's all because

Because of you

Well, I wanted more, but all I got

Was ten cents short of a broken heart

Ruby, Ruby Blue

Livin' and breathin'

Unrequited love

When it's good, it's good

You put your arms around me

You walk away, leave me a satisfied lover

Oh, Ruby

Ruby Blue

It's all because

Because of you

Well, I wanted more, but all I got

Was ten cents short of a broken heart

Ruby, Ruby Blue

Oh, Ruby

Oh, Ruby

Oh, Ruby

Oh, Ruby

Oh, Ruby

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, Ruby

Oh, Ruby

Well, I wanted more, but all I got

Was ten cents short of a broken heart

Ruby, Ruby Blue
