|
I've tried some straight conversation
|
Even whispered the words in your ear
|
I've talked 'till I'm blue in the face
|
And thought I made myself perfectly clear
|
Now I'm 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 straight 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 straight 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
