hey ruth |
|
i don't mean to listen in, but these walls are paper thin, you know |
|
hey ruth |
|
i heard the fighting last night, he doesn't treat you right at all |
|
so maybe you don't even know my name |
|
just open your eyes and i know you would feel the same way |
|
hey ruth |
|
the truth isn't always clear, it's hard to see when you're so near |
|
hey ruth |
|
he wants to suck you dry, you're out of luck, too blind to see |
|
the way that he treats you is a crime |
|
don't let him hold you back this time, no no no |
|
i know that you probably can't read my mind |
|
but why is it so hard to leave him behind now |
|
hey ruth |
|
we all want to leave this highrise, move onto bluer skies, i know |
|
so turn off that tv set |
|
and get on your feet again, remember the times when you were free |
