Ruby Baby Lyrics

Cover art for Ruby Baby lyrics by Donald Fagen

Personally, I get a weird feeling about this song. I am under the impression that the narrator actually as some sort of obsessive, one-way relationship with a prostitute.

"Each time I see you, baby my heart cries I'm gonna steal you away from all those guys (...) Got some loving money too Gonna give it all to you"

I don't know, it might be far off (and yes, I know this is not a Fagen-song), but that was actually my first impression of the song.

Pfff, Fagen makes anything sound tragicomic... even old Rock 'n' Roll classics. Respect
