Lyrics Bill Withers

Bill Withers

Ruby Lee

Staring at shadows on the wall

Wish I knew of someone I could call

Someone who might understand it all

Ruby Lee, I show 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 show 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 show 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 show wish you was here with me.
