"Ruby & Jules" lyrics - DELBERT MCCLINTON

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

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

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
