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.
