(Gary Cotton/Tim Johnson) 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? Chorus: 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? Chorus: 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?... |
