Lyrics
verse
You hear me talk but you don't listen anyway,
Can't seem to hear a thing nomatter what I say.
chorus
You hear me talk but you don't listen anyway,
You hear me talkin' but you can't hear what I'm sayin',
You hear me talk but you don't listen anyway.
verse
I try to listen but I don't get anywhere,
You may talk plenty but there's nothin' there to share.
chorus

I've tried to convince you there is no sin in listenin',
Now you can take a taste of your own medicine.
chorus
I hear you talk but I don't listen anyway,
I hear you talkin' but I can't here what you're sayin',
I hear you talk but I don't listen anyway.
