[Verse 1]

Serendipity sadness

Is a brand new phrase I made for you

These rose-colored glasses

They complement you so well

And break a fully-functional heart in two

Vermillion singings

Do they mean stop or take the heat?

I just can't choose

It's myself I'm disbelieving

I don't know where these feelings come from

They just do

[Chorus]

Maybe I'm over my head

Falling for Ruby Red

There must be something I could say

To captivate you

(To captivate you)

[Verse 2]

I pricked myself in a rose veil

And the passion dripped down my sides

Like the blood that you

Colored crimson as it trailed

And left your mark on every thought

I thought I once knew

And romance? It irks me

Passion? Disturbs me

Yet a brink pink fills my cheeks

And lifts me up like the morning breeze

So I'm cerise

(So I'm cerise)

[Chorus]

Maybe I'm over my head

Falling for Ruby Red

There must be something I could say

To captivate you

(To captivate you)

I'm crazy and half-dead

For my darling Ruby Red

Is there nothing I could say?

To captivate you

[Bridge]

Carmine dreams turn blue

Hibiscus petals strewn

They fade into the night

But never to your sight

Yeah

[Chorus]

Maybe I'm over my head

Falling for Ruby Red

There must be something I could say

To captivate you

(To captivate you)

I'm crazy and half-dead

For that sweet girl, Ruby Red

There was nothing I could say

To captivate you

There was nothing I could say

To captivate you

To captivate you
