The Legend of Ruby Diamond |
| SIEDAH: «Uhm, uhm, umm…» |
| (OLD MAN) «I think you got possibilities, baby. |
| Go head, bring it! |
| Put your weight on it…» |
| SIEDAH: «Ahh, ahh, ahh… Mmm, ahh…» |
| So cool |
| Comin' home from school |
| Hearin' Ruby hard at workin' |
| Sittin' on the stoop rehearsin' |
| She’d sing, and her voice would reach out and capture your heart… Yeah! |
| BRIDGE 1 |
| Ruby, Ruby are ya' lonesome every night? |
| Does your heart ache for laughter? |
| Tell me, Ruby, are you hurting deep inside? |
| This is how she’d reply… |
| (She say) I was never one to doubt |
| But nothin' ever quite worked out |
| I sold, short of all my hopes and dreams… Cause nothin' no one wants is free |
| Ah, but that’s me… Ooh, woo… |
| So sad |
| Ruby had it so bad |
| Young, she ran away from problems |
| Never would she try to solve 'em |
| She’d yell, and her voice would tell on her soul, for the prize… |
| BRIDGE 2 |
| Ruby, Ruby are ya' waistin' precious time? |
| Chasin' men, with their «get rich» schemes… |
| Tell me, Ruby, will ya' ever compromise? |
| This is what she said to me… |
| (She say) People live the way they choose… |
| And I’ve shown you what NOT to do… |
| I know every WANT becomes a NEED when nothin' no one wants is free |
| Ahh, but that’s me… |
| Woah, I know, I sold short of all my hopes and dreams |
| Cause nothin' in this life’s for free |
| BREAKDOWN |
| No, no, no, no. |
| Ain’t nothin' |
| No |
| Ain’t nothin', um-um |
| SCAT SOLO |
| REPEAT PART OF VERSE 1 |
| Ruby, Ruby, Ruby are ya' lonesome every night? |
| Ah, does your heart ache for laughter? |
| And tell me Ruby, are you hurting deep inside? |
| This is how she’d reply… |
| She say I was never one to doubt… |
| She said nothin' ever quite worked out… |
| I sold, short of all my hopes and dreams… Cause nothin' no one wants is free, |
| no no |
| Ah, but that’s me… |
| You see, I-I know every WANT becomes a NEED, when nothin' no one wants is free, |
| no-no. |
| Aw, but that’s me! |
| Ruby, Ruby. |
| Oh, Ruby D |
| People live the way they choose… |
| I’ve shown you what NOT to do! |
| I Sold out! |
| I Sold Out! |
| Tell me, Ruby, will ya' eva compromise? |
| Tell me, Ruby… |
| Tell me, Ruby Diamond, Diamond, Diamond… I Sold out… |
| (FADE OUT) |
