Ricky's Tune

Are you sleeping my baby?
Just close your eyes and let me run away.
Now, don't cha cry.
I am leaving my sweet baby.
I've been in love with one who's far away.
I can't live a lie.
I've got something inside of me you know I can't hide
And each day since I left her
She's been on my mind.
So take care of yourself and my, my Ricky besides
He's the best friend I had.
I guess this is good-bye.

Are you weeping my baby?
I let you down but I just cannot stay.
I can't live a lie.
Now I am leaving my sweet baby.
I got my ticket, it won't pass me by.
I can't live a lie.
I've got something inside of me you know I can't hide
And each day since I left her
She's been on my mind.
So take care of yourself and my, my Ricky besides
He's the best friend I had.
I guess this is good-bye,
This is good bye.
I guess this is goodbye.
