You always talk, talk, talk all the time.

I wish I had, I had a dime

For ev'ry thought I've swallowed unheard.

No matter what it is that I do,

It's like I just can't seem to get through.
[Chorus]
F                   Am
I’ve got so much to say,

If only you would listen.

You know I try, try, try to explain-

I’m not the kid you want me to be.

Cm                            F
And yet it's all, it's all in vain--

Cm                           F
You just don't wanna see the real me.

Bb                              C
You think you know what I'm all about--

And yet you just keep shutting me out!
[Chorus]

If only you would listen.

I’m not gonna beg you--

You'll never see a tear.

But I promise, one day, I'll make you hear.

Gotta find a way,

But you are gonna hear me.

Eb    Bb       F
Got so much to say

Eb    Bb            F
And I'm gonna make you hear me.
