In the official video, Dustin Kensrue introduces the song this way:
It seems that there’s never enough words or never the right words. How do you explain to the one you cherish that all the stupid, selfish things you do are not a reflection of their worth or of your love for them? All you can tell...
[Verse 1: Dustin Kensrue]
I've been foolish and blind
Time after time
Girl, I've let you down
And I'm losing my mind
Trying to find a way
To show you now
You are all I want...
And you are all I want
[Verse 2: Dustin Kensrue]
Girl I'm down on my knees
Begging you please
I need another chance
But you're not looking at me
Are you hearing my plea?
Won't you take my hands?
[Chorus: Dustin Kensrue]
'Cause, Ruby, you're all that I want
My heart and my treasure
Ruby, you're all that I need
For now and forever
You're all I want
You're all I want
[Bridge 1: Dustin Kensrue]
I know that talk is cheap
And words seem weak
Coming from this broken man
Still I will speak
'Cause I can't sleep
Until you truly understand
[Chorus: Dustin Kensrue]
'Cause, Ruby, you're all that I want
My heart and my treasure
Ruby, you're all that I need
For now and forever
[Bridge 2: Dustin Kensrue]
Don't want diamonds or gold
When I've got my Ruby, to hold you
I'm in ecstasy
I can't ever get enough
Don't want platinum or pearls
I'd trade all the jewels in the world
To have you next to me
I can't live without your love
Nooo -
[Chorus: Dustin Kensrue]
'Cause, Ruby, you're all that I want
My heart and my treasure
Ruby, you're all that I need
For now and forever
[Chorus 2 more times]
You are all I want
