Ruby & Jules Lyrics by Delbert McClinton

Tall, Dark, and Handsome

2019

[Verse 1]
When Jules walked into Ruby's last Saturday night
The  monkey on his back was lookin' for a fight
It  was obvious that somebody'd been yanking his chain
The look in his eyes he was completely deranged

[Verse 2]
He started lookin' around the room and everybody's ass got tight
They  were dippin' and divin' out of his line of sight
Now  if Ruby hadn't been there, there'd been hell to pay
'Cause she's the only one can chase his demons away

[Chorus]
Ruby's  a gem, Jules is too
Like precious stones cut with precision tools
When yin and yang they rendezvous
It's amazing what a little bit of love can do

[Verse 3]
She  sat him down and said "Now listen to me, fool
"You know I love you, and I'd do anything for you
"But if you gotta act crazy, go off and do it by yourself
"'Cause honey, you're gettin' it all over everybody else"

[Chorus]
Ruby's a gem and Jules is too
Like precious stones cut with precision tools
When yin and yang they rendezvous
It's amazing what a little bit of love can do

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Ruby's a gem, Jules is too
Like precious stones cut with precision tools
When yin and yang they rendezvous
It's amazing what a little bit of love can do
