Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress) Songtext
von Helen Reddy

Big old Ruby red dress
Wanders ′round the town
Talking to herself now
Sometimes sittin' down
Don′t you get too close now
Ruby runs away
Poor old Ruby red dress
Born on a sorry day
I can hear her say

"Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won't you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone (leave me alone)
Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Just leave me alone
Ah, leave me
(Leave me)"


Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won't you leave me alone?
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Just leave me alone
Yes, leave me
(Leave me)

Big old Ruby Red dress (ooh-ooh)
Everybody laughs
Say she′s got no future (ooh-ooh)
Never made no past
Something hurt that Ruby
Something she can′t bare
You look at her real close now
You see a little tear
When she says now

"Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won't you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone (leave me alone)
Now, leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Please just leave me alone
Oh, leave me
(Leave me)"


Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won′t you leave me alone?
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Please just leave me alone
Oh, leave me
(Leave me)

Some folks say, some farm boy (ooh-ooh)
Up from Tennessee
Taught it all to Ruby (ooh-ooh)
Then just let her be
Her daddy tried to hide it
He tried to keep things cool
But something happened to Ruby
She broke down to a fool
Who just says now

"Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won't you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone (leave me alone)
Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Just leave me alone
Ah, leave me
(Leave me)"

Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won′t you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone (leave me alone)
Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Just leave me alone
Yes, leave me
(Leave me)
