Staring at shadows on the wall Wish I knew of someone I could call Someone who might understand it all Ruby Lee, I sho wish you was here with me Someone's lying with me in my bed Some stranger who don't understand my head Wish it was you lying here instead Ruby Lee, I sho wish you was here with me ♪ Drowning in a sea of pretty faces Being quite the man about the town Packing up and going different places But I sho miss having you around I listen to the noises down the hall Think I'll move out of here in the fall I ain't exactly having me a ball Ruby Lee, I sho wish you was here with me
