Rosa Dear
Ruth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Verse 1)

Sometimes when you're feeling young,
And you're feeling tough and you're all caught up,
But you don't walk right and you don't talk right,
And there ain't nothing wrong with feeling strong,
But-
(Pre-Chorus)
I know what you're going through,
I know 'cause I've been there too,
I don't walk right,
And I don't talk right,
And there ain't nothing wrong with feeling strong,
But-

(Chorus)
I wanna be there for you honey,
Working my job and making money.
I wanna cool for you, baby
But I, I'm just a fool for you girl
But, you know you're my world.

(Verse 3)
Last week I was climbing a tree.
I lost my footing, I fell thirty feet
And I don't walk right,
And I don't talk right,
And there ain't nothing wrong with feeling strong,
But-

(Pre-Chorus)
I know what you're going through,
I know 'cause I've been there too,
I don't walk right,
And I don't talk right,
And there ain't nothing wrong with feeling strong,
But-

(Chorus)
I wanna be there for you honey,
Working my job and making money.
I wanna cool for you, baby
But I, I'm just a fool for you girl
But, you know you're my world.

(Bridge)
I wanna cool for you, baby
But I, I'm just a fool for you girl
But, you know you're my world.

I want you next to me,
I said "I do", I said "I do".
In sickness or health, always be true, always be true.

I want you next to me,
I said "I do", I said "I do".

I wanna be there for you honey,
Working my job and making money.

(Outro)
You know [x8]
Don't you know?




You know [x3]
You're my whole world

Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes when you're feeling young,
At times when you're young and inexperienced,


And you're feeling tough and you're all caught up,
And you feel strong and overwhelmed,


But you don't walk right and you don't talk right,
But despite feeling strong, you still lack confidence and have difficulty expressing yourself,


And there ain't nothing wrong with feeling strong,
There's nothing wrong with feeling empowered,


But-


I know what you're going through,
I understand what you're experiencing,


I know 'cause I've been there too,
Because I've gone through the same thing before,


I don't walk right,
I still lack confidence in myself,


And I don't talk right,
And I still struggle to express myself,


But-


I wanna be there for you honey,
I want to be there for you,


Working my job and making money.
Even if that means working hard and earning money,


I wanna cool for you, baby
I want to be there for you,


But I, I'm just a fool for you girl
But the truth is, I'm a fool for you,


But, you know you're my world.
But you're everything to me.


Last week I was climbing a tree.
Just last week I was doing something adventurous,


I lost my footing, I fell thirty feet
And I had a mishap and fell down thirty feet,


I want you next to me,
I want you to be by my side,


I said "I do", I said "I do".
I made a promise to you on our wedding day,


In sickness or health, always be true, always be true.
I will always be true to you and support you through everything,


You know [x8]
You already know,


Don't you know?
You know, right?


You're my whole world
You mean everything to me.

Just a little trivia for y'all... This song was actually inspired by a traumatic accident I had in 2013 (sustaining a serious brain injury). Dustin and his wife are good friends and he used my wife's name in the song! His heartfelt emotion in the lyrics brings me back every time.

I actually like it so much that I would like to cover it.
I think it would be fun to play in my own grungy way.
Please let me know if you can help me learn the song and give permission to play it live. Naturally I'll let people know its a cover and direct them your way.

The best part to me is that this is how I am with my girlfriend, and I'm an arborist who has had a slight limp and odd way to talking since... well, falling about 35 feet from a tree at work.
