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
