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 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
