When I was growin' up I always had a little trouble
Bein' told what to do
You got me thinkin' about us as a couple
Sittin' here talking to you

It ain't that I don't wanna hear
Everything you have to say
But when you start giving instructions
I just gotta walk away

It just goes in one ear and out the other
Reminds me a little too much of my sweet mother
I could never listen to what she had to say
I had to run for cover
It just goes in one ear and out the other

You like talkin' about your feelings
I guess you always will
But I don't really wanna feel
Like I'm on Dr Phil

You say it'll make us closer
It's drivin' us apart
It's just way too much talking
Just listen to your heart

You say that I'm blocking
But it's too much talking
Sometimes you make a mountain
From a mole hill

You know that I love you
And nothin' comes above you
But I'm headin' for the door
Cause I just can't listen any more
