Ruby

Lyricist: Foster The People     Composer: Foster The People

And there she goes
She was sitting really nice with her head full of advice f
rom 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 mo
m

And it's hard
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
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 got everything and nothing to lose
She got a call from a guy just seeing if she's alright

She's got a fistful of tears held back by the strength of
five
And 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
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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

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

(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)

All alone (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
Rest your head
On my lap (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
When you're down

All alone (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
Rest your head
On my lap (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
When you're down

Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
Oooooooo (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
Ruby don't cry (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
Cause I am here, and I am here (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
So don't you cry
Cause it'll be alright
