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
