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 in the hall Think I'll might 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
