[Verse 1]  You only listen when it suits you  I don't know why I try  I will not explain the facts  'Cause words just float on by  You are always saying that  You think you know what's best  We get so sick of hearing you  So just give it a rest    [CHORUS]  You only hear what you want to  That is so unfair no-one seems to care about you  Now we are talking but  You still hear what you want to  Maybe you should open your ears and  Listen to what people have to say  Still you will not change and  You still hear what you want to    [Verse 2]  I'm talking but you don't listen to me  You will never change and you can't see  What it is you are doing to me  To your friends and to to your family  The people you upset when you close your ears  When you don't want to face your fears  I'm so sick of this game you put me through  This time it is the end of me and you    [CHORUS]  You only hear what you want to  That is so unfair no-one seems to care about you  Now we are talking but  You still hear what you want to  Maybe you should open your ears and  Listen to what people have to say  Still you will not change and  You still hear what you want to    [Solo]    [Verse 3]  You are always saying that  You think you know what's best  We get so sick of hearing you  So just give it a rest    [CHORUS]  You only hear what you want to  That is so unfair no-one seems to care about you  Now we are talking but  You still hear what you want to  Maybe you should open your ears and  Listen to what people have to say  Still you will not change and  You still hear what you want to hear
