Hey Ruth

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
