Listen

I'd hoped you were sorry

For things that you've said

But now disillusion's

All I feel instead

Your head is a mess

And you scream and you shout

'Cos you were born jealous

Forever in doubt

Listen,

Listen to what I've got to say

Why don't you listen

Try to see things my way

Now, listen

Why believe I'd deceive you with someone else

Why don't you listen?

Listen, listen, listen

Now, I justify and explain

My deeds all day long

But all you can hear are those voices say

I done you wrong

You want to keep me in chains

But I was born free

And I ain't gonna change

Now listen,

Listen to what I've got to say

Why don't you listen

Try to see things my way

Now, listen

Why believe I'd deceive you with someone else

Why don't you listen?

Listen, listen, listen
