Little Ruby Lyrics by Lera Lynn

Resistor

2016

[Verse 1]
I have a letter that you sent me in the mail
Signed with love, covered in a sweet smell
But the top left corner of the envelope said 'Little Ruby'
And that was all you wrote
No way to find you, no way to ring your little bell

[Verse 2]
What are you hidin', you're living in a big mess
I thought you were just a pretty little waitress
Maybe you're hidin' out from the police
Maybe they've got you in a penitentiary
I wanna find you, I wanna make you confess

[Chorus]
Sweet Little Ruby, why won't you love me?
Why won't you let me see you again?
Sweet Little Ruby, who are you really?
Why won't you let me be your friend?

[Verse 3]
I thought you were just a late night bartender
A heavy-scissor-handed hack-job hairdresser
Maybe a mermaid livin' underwater
Or maybe worse, the preacher's daughter
How can I find you? I wanna return to sender

[Chorus]
Sweet Little Ruby, why won't you love me?
Why won't you let me see you again?
Sweet Little Ruby, who are you really?
Why won't you let me be your friend?

[Chorus]
Sweet Little Ruby, why won't you love me?
Why won't you let me see you again?
Sweet Little Ruby, who are you really?
Why won't you let me be your friend?
