Listen to what I say, boy
Things ain't always better your way
Trying hard just to get in but you don't wanna hear what I say

Well, you don't say
You're digging yourself further in
If you don't get your head out the sky
You know you don't have to tell me again
'Cause baby I can think for myself, yeah, and that is why I'm with you

Listen to what I say, boy
Seems like I am jetting away
You take my innards and squeeze them
To mold them just like I wasn't there

Well, you don't say
I am not trying to prove you wrong
You know I'll always listen to you
But I don't know what I'm trying to say
Baby, I'll always stand by you
But things ain't always better your way

Listen to what I say, boy
Think your head is way above me
It's time to get down off your tree and bring it back where it should be

Well, you don't say
I am not trying to prove you wrong
You know I'll always listen to you
But I don't know what I'm trying to say
Baby. I'll always stand by you
But things ain't always better your way
Things ain't always better your way
Things ain't always better your way
