when i say i love you you never listen
when i say i hurt inside or can't sleep
at night you listen.

when there's a problem or we have to 
pay bills you listen,when our children
need us you listen .
 

when gas needs put in our car you
listen ,when i try to make love to you
you listen,when i ask how late you'll
be home from work you'll listen.
 

but every time I sit down to talk to you
just to say i love you you never listen
listening is all i ever ask you to do
listen because what i have to say is
pretty important to me,i love  you listen.
 

end .
