Ruby
Camille Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ruby, what am I gonna do with you?
Babe, you choose what you wanna do
Don't want my Ruby in the dust
Lost and lonely, babe, then you must
Understand that I am here
And you come to me
My Ruby
Ruby, what a life you choose
Babe you loose what you're trying to prove
Don't want my Ruby in the dust
Lost and lonely, babe, then we must
Understand that I am here
And you can come to me
Understand that I am near




And you belong to me
My Ruby
