Ruby & Jules - Delbert McClinton, Self-Made Men

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

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»

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

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
