[Verse 1]
You only listen when it suits you
I don't know why I try

I will not explain the facts
'Cause words just float on by
You are always saying that

You think you know what's best
We get so sick of hearing you
So just give it a rest


[CHORUS]
You only hear what you want to

That is so unfair no-one seems to care about you
Now we are talking but
You still hear what you want to

Maybe you should open your ears and
Listen to what people have to say
Still you will not change and

You still hear what you want to

[Verse 2]

I'm talking but you don't listen to me
You will never change and you can't see
What it is you are doing to me

To your friends and to to your family
The people you upset when you close your ears
When you don't want to face your fears

I'm so sick of this game you put me through
This time it is the end of me and you


[CHORUS]
You only hear what you want to
That is so unfair no-one seems to care about you

Now we are talking but
You still hear what you want to
Maybe you should open your ears and

Listen to what people have to say
Still you will not change and
You still hear what you want to


[Solo]


[Verse 3]
You are always saying that
You think you know what's best

We get so sick of hearing you
So just give it a rest


[CHORUS]
You only hear what you want to
That is so unfair no-one seems to care about you

Now we are talking but
You still hear what you want to
Maybe you should open your ears and

Listen to what people have to say
Still you will not change and
You still hear what you want to hear
