Allan Clarke - Ruby Lyrics

Ruby, by name, it's such a shame
You don't live up to the real thing
The real is fire so much to desire
I can tell by your face you've had your fling

Ruby, Ruby

Oh my, how the time flies
That's why you don't hold your head high
Cast away all the years bein' so insincere
Just so you could have your good times

Ruby, Ruby

Ruby you ain't the real thing
It's no use turnin' on your smiles
Ruby you ain't the real thing
Your flaw stands out for miles and miles and miles and miles

Now, it's all over, wreaths for the clover
I've thrown my handful on your pile
One thing to say now you've past away
Ruby take a rest for a long time

Ruby, Ruby
