Echoes of reggae comin' through my bedroom wall Havin' a party up next door but I'm sittin' here all alone Two lovers in the bedroom and the other started to shout All I got is this blank stare and that don't carry no clout at all
He's singin' and she's there to lend a hand He's seen his name on the marquee but she will never understand Once again he's leavin' and she's there with a tear in her eye Embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye
Ruby's heart ain't beatin' cause she knows the feelin' is gone She's not the only one who knew that there's somethin' wrong Little lover's in the distance as she wipes a tear from her eye Ruby's fading out, she disappears, it's time, time to say goodbye
