lyrics

And if he's looking down
It's cos he's high above you
And he's looking in your eyes
And it's oh-so-awfully nice
Then he says he loves you
Where d'you hide your face
You can't meet his gaze
Hasn't he ever heard that three words make Sunday bloody Sunday

You've finally caught your breath
And the awkward moment's past
Can't believe he'd ask such a leading question
When he ought to know not to speak
Then he repeats he loves you

You'd better fight or flee
So you can make him see
That now enough's enough
It's tough but this is just another manic monday

And the walls you build are song
You get killed before too long
With a heart attack and be done
Gone before the end of this song

And if he's looking down
It's cos he's lying on you
And he says he has a surprise
And it's oh-so-awfully nice
(If he'll confess you'll acquiesce)
And the he says goodbye
Can’t look in your eyes
Can’t deny your lies are compromised this time
Cry a tear for Ruby Tuesday
Where d'you hide your face
You can't meet his gaze
Hasn't he ever heard that three words can ruin Ruby Tuesdays
Everyone loves rubies don’t they?
