Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Starin' at shadows on the wall
Wishin' there was someone I could call
Someone who might understand it all
Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Drownin' in a sea of pretty faces
Bein' quite the man of the town
Packin' up and goin' pretty places
But I sure miss you around
[Verse 4]
Listen to the noises in the hall
Think I might move out of here in the Fall
Ain't exactly havin' me a ball
Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me
[Verse 5]
Drownin' in a sea of pretty faces
Bein' quite the man about the town
Packin' up and goin' pretty places
But I sure miss you around
[Verse 6]
Listen to the noises in the hall
Wishin' there was someone I could call
Ain't exactly havin' me a ball
Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me
