Ruby - Coleman Hawkins, Neal Hefti

You’re mean to me

Why must you be mean to me?

Gee, baby, it seems to me

You’d love to see me cryin'

I don’t know why I stay home

Each night when you say that you’ll phone

You don’t, and I’m left alone

Singin' the blues 'n' cryin'

You treat me coldly each day in the year

You always scold me whenever somebody is near

It must be

Great fun to be mean to me

You shouldn’t 'cause can’t you see what you mean to me?

You treat me coldly every day in the year

And you always scold me whenever somebody is near

Gee, it must be

Great fun to be mean to me

You shouldn’t 'cause can’t you see what you mean to me?
