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
