oh baby don't you know
girl, your silence hurts me so
are you listening
Ruby
oh baby can't you see
it's the source of misery
are you listening

Troubles
they seem to follow me
as far as I can see,
it must be my destiny
Troubles
they carry you around
from the crib into the ground
they will never set you down

mm la la la
