Lyrics

I got a girl with a ruby ring. She got such a gentle touch.

She cusses like a New York City cab driver and she will laugh at your
crutch

But every time I need her she's there just like a rock.

Sometimes I even hold her hand and we take a little walk

Outside in the dirty air, in between the volcanoes

And she and I we talk about....

"Talk about what?!"

God only knows


Every day I see a guy with his pockets full of debts

And a life so full of small events that he would just as soon forget

And dreams of something better...so real...just like TV

The image of a person he's quite sure he'd rather be

Now she and I are walking checking how the garden grows

And i don't care if I step in it...

"Step in what?!"

God only knows






Every day I see a woman who's as hard as broken glass

She wears way too much perfume and she's way above my class

You take her if she wants you...Man it's heartbreak guaranteed

Cause I got a girl with a ruby ring and she's all the girl I need

Yes I'm a happy idiot with a rainbow and a rose

So if you want you try to fit

"Fit what?!"

God only knows


The track announcer at the rat race said you had them pole to pole

You win some and you loose some, then they put you in a hole

"So what?!" is your philosophy and i know just what you mean

But I got a girl with a ruby ring says "Sew buttons on ice cream!"

She don't care about philosophy. She knows which way the wind blows

And the winners win and the losers lose.

"Lose what?!"

God only knows
