Cake - Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town Lyrics
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hairRuby, are you contemplating going out somewhere?The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going downOh Ruby, don't take your love to townIt wasn't me who started that old crazy Asian warBut I was proud to go and do my patriotic choreAnd yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to beOh Ruby, I still need some companyIt's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzedAnd the wants and needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realizeBut it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not aroundOh Ruby, don't take your love to townAnd she's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the doorThe way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times beforeAnd if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the groundOh Ruby, don't take your love to townOh Ruby, for God's sake, turn aroundTurn around(Get back in here! You're not single anymore! Where the ***** do you think you're going?!?)
