I Never Listen

I never listen to the words I only ever hum the tune

So please don’t make me any Promises or say you’ll Fly Me To The Moon

Don’t speak to me of Yesterday or sing The Winner Takes it All 

Best you Go Your Own Way because A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall

For my part I can assure you that this is not Your Song 

Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood but I can’t say This Is Where I Belong

I forgot your eyes already if they’re were green or they were blue

So be sure when smoke gets in them that I will not be True

It’s not down to amnesia or to shyness or to diffidence

It’s just when all is said and sung the words seem to make no difference

Perhaps you Heard It Through The Grapevine or else from Carrie Anne

I never listen to the words so please don’t tell me I’m Your Man
