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
I 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
[ guitar ]
If you'd stop for a minute and listen
Or you'd 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 the word that I'm saying...
I talk to you all the time but you don't hear
