Listen To Me

(album: Steve Forbert - 1982)

Watching you packing, I'm grieving
Can't let you throw us away
Why be so stuck up on leaving?
Why can't you see what I say?

I know I've brought us some problems
Yes and you know you brought us some too
Why don't you think we can solve 'em?
Hey working for love, me and you

Listen to me, listen to me, now
Listen, listen to me, oh yes

Darling, I'm willing and able
Ready for a change in my ways
Laid down my cards on the table
Yes and start with you straight from today

Outside it's thunder and lightning
And the rain's pouring down from the sky
Here in our home where we're fighting
Oh, nothing seems right, we're trying

Listen to me, listen to me, now
Listen, listen to me, oh yeah
For awhile yes baby baby baby

Standing beside me now
Yes maybe, maybe baby
We can make it some how

Oh, listen to me, now
Listen, listen to me
Oh, alright

Watching you packing, I'm grieving
Can't let you throw us away
Why be so stuck up on leaving?
Why can't you see what I say?

We've had some good times together
There's been a reason for us
Stick with me now through bad weather

Hey, stop what you're doing and just listen to me
Listen to me, now
Listen, listen to me
Listen to me, listen to me, now
Listen
