| I’ve tried some straight conversation
|
| Wven whispered the words in your ear
|
| I’ve talked 'till I’m blue in the face
|
| And thought I made mself perfectly clear
|
| Now’Im on the edge of leavin'
|
| And you’re asking how can that be
|
| I’ve wasted too much breath explaining
|
| Oh and when did you ever listen to me
|
| I could stand at the mouth of a canyon
|
| Yell the truth stright into the wind
|
| I can’t take being taken for granted
|
| And I wish I could make it sink in
|
| I could tell you you’re gonna get lonely
|
| And just how sorry you’ll be
|
| But you won’t believe me until I am gone
|
| When did you ever listen to me
|
| You’ll have to watch the doors slam behind me
|
| Smell the cloud of dust from my car
|
| Taste your own tears on the pillow
|
| Feel the break deep in your heart
|
| Maybe then you’ll come to your senses
|
| You’ll hear what I can’t make you see
|
| When you ask yourself the same question
|
| When did you ever listen to me
|
| I could stand at the mouth of a canyon
|
| Yell the truth stright into the wind
|
| I can’t take being taken for granted
|
| And I wish I could make it sink in
|
| I could tell you you’re gonna get lonely
|
| And just how sorry you’ll be
|
| But you won’t believe me until I am gone
|
| When did you ever listen to me
|
| When did you ever listen to me |
