Lately you spent a lot of time at parties
Your head held high in a world of make believe

You don't hear a word that I tell you and I can see you no longer care for me
You don't hear a word that I'm saying may as well be talking to the ceiling
I want you to know how much I love you I talk to you all the time but you don't hear
[ el.banjo - steel ]
If you'd stop for a minute and listen you would save yourself a lot of tears
Your party pals won't love you like I do I try to tell you but you don't hear
You don't hear a word...
I talk to you all the time but you don't hear
