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 down the hall   Think I'll 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
