Mesquite Cafe - Why Won't You Listen

I yelled and I screamed
Nearly spoke things obscene
All just to get you to listen to me
I whispered in your ear
I used love and I used fear
All just to get your attention
Why don’t you listen
Why won’t you listen to me
I’m standing at your door
Knuckles beat to the bone
My blood on the floor
I’m clawing, I’m scratching, and I’m begging you just to let me in
As sure as the day
Will always turn gray
Your life will soon fade away
As you go to the grave
Then you’re gonna beg
For just one more chance to listen
I gave you all my mind
Hoping you would find
Just a little time to listen to me
I got disappointed and cried
I got depressed and I sighed
And for the life of me
I can’t figure out why
You won’t listen to me
Why don’t you listen
Why won’t you listen to me
I’m standing at your door
Knuckles beat to the bone
My blood on the floor
I’m clawing, I’m scratching, and I’m begging you just to let me in
As sure as the day
Will always turn gray
Your life will soon fade away
As you go to the grave
Then you’re gonna beg
For just one more chance to listen
As you you go to grave
You’ll know it’s too damn late to listen
