Well it seems you have a heart
  I saw it once so I know it's true
  You let it out on Sundays when
  You let it beat me black and blue
  When you went and stole my heart
  I saw it go so I know it's true
  It was a ruby, ruby, ruby red
  It was the most precious gift I could give to you
  
  It was as red as the sun in the evening sky
  It was as red as the fire in a panther's eye
  It was as red as the rose under the summer sun
  Like a fire from a killer's gun
  
  Ruby, ruby red
  Shine a light onto this boy's bed
  There's a street lamp glowing in my head
  Oh, Ruby, ruby, ruby red
  
  Well it seems you have a soul
  You let it go so I know it's true
  It was a ruby, ruby, ruby red
  It keeps me warm when I'm feeling sad and blue
  Well you went and stole my heart
  I saw it go so I know it's true
  I wrapped it up in a bouquet of barbed wire
  It was the wickedest gift I could give to you
  
  It was as red as the sun in the evening sky
  It was as red as the fire in a panther's eye
  It was as red as the rose under the summer sun
  Like a fire from a killer's gun
  
  Ruby, ruby red
  Shine a light onto this boy's bed
  There's a street lamp glowing in my head
  Oh, Ruby, ruby, ruby red
  
  Oh just like Johnny Rio baby
  I need to be desired
  I give up looking for my past
  For the ones I left behind
  Ruby red, ruby red, hey, hey, hey
  
  Ruby, ruby red
  Shine a light onto this boy's bed
  There's a street lamp glowing in my head
  Oh, Ruby, ruby, ruby red
  
  It was the most precious jewel
  I could give to you
  Colour me red when I'm feeling blue
  The colour of a kiss
  In a young girl's dream
  The mark of a guillotine
  A drop of blood from a single thorn
  Red wet sheets in the afternoon
  A red light leading to my tomb
  Ruby red all around my room
  
  Ruby, ruby red
  Oh shine a light onto this boy's bed
  Oh, ruby, ruby, ruby red
