LISTEN!

Listen, if you’re going to listen, then listen
I heard what you said you heard I said
But you didn’t, you didn’t hear
You didn’t hear cause you didn’t listen
And then you said what you think I said
What you expected me to say

Waaaaaa…

You know what? You know what you said,
When I said I didn’t say what you said I said
And then you just talked right over me as if to say
As if to say shut up, shut up and listen
You talked as if I didn’t say what I said
And it don’t matter what I say

Waaaaaa…

You know what I think? I think you don’t think
I think you don’t think that you need to listen
And I think, I think you don’t want
You don’t want anyone else… to think
You just want them to say and think is said
The things you tell them people say

So listen, if you’re going to listen, then listen
I heard what you said you heard I said
But you didn’t, you didn’t hear
Didn’t hear cause you didn’t listen
