[Verse 1]
They say, Ruby, you're like a dream
Not always what you seem
And though my heart may break when I awake
Let it be so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

[Verse 2]
They say, Ruby, you're like a song
You just don't know right from wrong
And in your eyes, I see heartaches for me
Right from the start, who stole my heart?
Ruby, it's you

[Bridge]
I hear your voice and I must come to you (must come to you)
I have no choice, so what else can I do? (what else can I do?)

[Verse 3]
They say, Ruby, you're like a flame
Into my life, you came
And though I should beware, still I just don't care
You thrill me so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

[Bridge]
(I hear your voice and I must come to you)
(I have no choice, what else can I do ?-what can I do?)

[Verse 4]
They say, Ruby, you're like a flame
Into my life, you came
And though I should beware, still I don't care
You thrill me so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
