They say, Ruby you're like a dream

Not always what you seem

And though my heart may break when I awake

Let it be so, I only know

Ruby, it's you



They say, Ruby you're like a song

You just don't know right from wrong

And in your eyes I see heartaches for me

Right from the start, who stole my heart?

Ruby, it's you



I hear your voice and I must come to you (must come to you)

I have no choice, so what else can I do ? (what else can I do?)



They say, Ruby you're like a flame

Into my life you came

And though I should beware, still I just don't care

You thrill me so, I only know

Ruby, it's you



(I hear your voice and I must come to you)

(I have no choice, what else can I do ?-what can I do?)



They say, Ruby you're like a flame

Into my life you came

And though I should beware, still I don't care

You thrill me so, I only know

Ruby, it's you
