Ruby (Vinyl Version)

And there she goes
She was sitting real nice
With a head full of advice
From friends
She walks around
She tries to rearrange
But everything goes under her bed
And it’s countless
She’s got a jar full of change
Saved up for vacation
And she’s watching
She's watching her sons
Growing up just like their mom
And it's hard for her
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
You gotta start lifting your
Head up, head up, head up
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know it’s hard but you gotta get
Outta bed, outta bed, outta bed
Yeah she don’t know what to do
She's got everything and nothing to lose
She got a call from a guy
Just seeing if she's all right
She's got a face full of tears
Held back by the strength of five
She says "Happiness ain't free
Everybody fights just like me
But I've given up the ability to retreat"
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
You gotta start lifting your
Head up, head up, head up
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know it’s hard but you gotta get
Outta bed, outta bed, outta bed
Yeah she don’t know what to do
She's got everything and nothing to lose
Yeah it's time for us to figure it out
I'm here so don't be scared
It's time for us to figure it out
Don't be, don't be scared
All alone, rest your head
On my lap, when you're down
All alone, rest your head
On my lap, when you're down
Yeah
Ruby don't go
Cos I am here
And I am here
So don't you cry
Cos it'll be all right
