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) |
