Now I could sit here and baffle you, with shallow babble,
And a bunch of punch lines you probably won’t get.
Or even use some big words that you’d have to look up
But, I’m not a teacher so go ahead and close your book up.
I could tell a fairy tale so convincing,
And keep a straight face from beginning to happy ending.
If I just said hello would you listen to me?
I’m trying hard trying to make it perfectly clear
But I’m dying because their aint nobody listening to me
Been relying on myself for more than 20 years
And I aint crying I just need someone to listen to me
Can I get some reply get, maybe some kind of sign
To let me know that you’re listening to me?
Just from time to time I get lost in my mind
Its hard to find someone to listen to me
My ears were open when you needed some consoling
I could talk about myself in third person like I’m better than you
Cuz there’s nothing else better to do..
I could attack your character from eighty different angles,
Cleverly explaining exactly how wack you are,
But why bother, if you won’t listen to me?
