[Verse 1] Let it never be said The romance is dead Cause there's so little else Occupying my head There is nothing I need Except the function to breathe But I'm not really fussed Doesn't matter to me [Chorus] Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Do you, do you, do you, do you Know what you're doing, doing, to me? Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby [Verse 2] Due to lack of interest Tomorrow is canceled Let the clocks be reset And the pendulums held 'Cause there's nothing at all Except the space in-between Finding out what you're called And repeating your name [Chorus] Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Do you, do you, do you, do you Know what you're doing, doing, to me Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby [Bridge] Could it be, could it be That you're joking with me? And you don't really see you and me Could it be, could it be That you're joking with me? And you don't really see you and me [Chorus] Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Do you, do you, do you, do you Know what you're doing, doing, to me Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Do you, do you, do you, do you Know what you're doing, doing, to me
