Ruby

I've been listening to your songs, Ruby

Showing off to all my friends

Thought I ought to let you know

That I'm your greatest fan, Ruby

Don't let things freak you out, Ruby

You've got nothing to fear

Just play this one by ear

And the tune will write itself, Ruby

Lipstick on the walls

Bubble shoes in basin

All your mother wants

Is to keep you from harm

Don't stop writing songs

Don't stop thinking crazy

But just don't let her go, Ruby

No matter what you do, Ruby

Don't forget, she's someone's daughter too

She's just a girl like you, Ruby

You, Ruby

And if you're feeling down, Ruby

Don't bear the weight yourself

You'll never be alone

'Cause you're so fucking loved, Ruby

Lipstick on the walls

High-heeled shoes and naked

All your mother wants

Is to keep you from harm

Don't stop pushing on

Don't stop agitating

But don't let her slip away, Ruby

No matter what they say, Ruby

Don't forget she also feels this way

She's just a girl like you, Ruby

Ruby

Lipstick on the walls

Bubble shoes in basin

All your mother wants

Is to keep you from harm

Don't stop writing songs

Don't stop thinking crazy

But don't let her slip away, Ruby

No matter what they say, Ruby

Don't forget, she also feels this pain, Ruby

No, never let her go, Ruby

No matter what you do, Ruby

Don't forget, she's someone's daughter too

She's just a girl like you, Ruby

You, Ruby
