And try to think
Look what you're doing
Oh, Ruby
You never get to give it all you got
'Cause you forgot to
Take it to the top
Alright
Why do you make a start
With no means to go on
It's on the tip of your
Ruby, we used to love you truly
You used to make us laugh
It really was a gas
But now you're a bore
One
Two
Three
But now you're a bore
It's you
And them
And me
Look what you do oh, Ruby Blue
Check yourself
Do you get me
Do you get me
Do you get me
Do you get me
Do you get me
You'd better stop
And try to think
Look what you're doing
Oh, Ruby
You never get to give it all you've got
'Cause you forgot to take it to the top
Oh, Ruby Blue
Alright
Nobody cares anyway
If you play the painted lady
Four and more
Five
And six
Who would have believed
It would come
To this
Look what you do oh, Ruby Blue
Check yourself
You'd better stop
And try to think
Look what you're doing
Oh, Ruby
You never get to give it all you've got
'Cause you forgot to
Take it to the top
Oh Ruby Blue
Alright
One
Two
Three
Look what you're doing
Oh Ruby
Nobody's there anyway (it's you)
And them
And me
Look what you do oh, Ruby Blue
"Ruby Blue" is a song by Irish singer-songwriter Roisin Murphy, released in 2005. The song is about a person named Ruby who is characterized as being unable to live up to her full potential. The lyrics urge Ruby to stop and think about her actions, to take her talents to the top, and to stop being a bore. The song is a critique of someone who starts something but doesn't have the means to finish it, and ends up causing frustration to everyone involved.
The first verse of the song warns Ruby about what she is doing to herself, telling her to "stop and try to think." It points out the fact that she is not giving her all because she forgot to take things to the top. The chorus emphasizes this, repeating the phrase "oh, Ruby Blue, alright" to indicate that Ruby needs to get her act together. The second verse speaks to Ruby's past, saying that she used to be truly loved and make people laugh, but now she is boring because she doesn't follow through with things. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, underscoring the importance of taking things to the top.
