Song title: Ruby baby
(J. Leiber / M. Stoller)
Ruby baby
I've got a girl and Ruby is her name
She don't love me but I love her just the same
Ruby, Ruby, how I want you
Like a ghost I'm gonna haunt you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?
Oh, each time I see my baby my heart cries
I'm gonna steal her away from all those guys
From the sunny day I met you
Made a bet that I would get you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?
I've got a girl and Ruby is her name
She don't love me but I love her just the same
Ruby, Ruby, how I want you
Like a ghost I'm gonna haunt you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?
Each time I see my baby my heart cries
I'm going to steal you away from all those guys
From the sunny day I met you
Made a bet that I would get you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?
I've got a girl and Ruby is her name
I'd go out just to get her all the same
Got some loving money too
Gonna give it all to you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?
