NEVER LISTEN words and music by Lenny Solomon

Key D Capo 2                          © L. Solomon 2011

I saw her standing in the corner

Her summer smile shined around the room

When our eyes met I knew I was a goner

Like swooning ‘neath a full Arabian moon

We married on a warm day in September

Hoped our love would help us conquer all

But I found out the following December

We didn’t even make it through the fall

‘cause all she did was talk and never listen,

I never had a chance to say things right

When I’d try she’d think that I was dissin’,

We’d raise our voice, have another fight

All she did was talk and never listen

I knew that we would never see the light

I said goodbye to huggin’ and a’kissin’

Now I drink away most every night

Remembering the moment that it ended

We knew that we had taken our last dance

That is when my life became suspended

That is when I lost my true romance

Now, the days are cold and dark and dreary

Her body once a comfort now is gone

So I’m alone and feeling kind of weary

And drink another beer to carry on

‘cause all she did was talk and never listen,

I never had a chance to say things right

When I’d try she’d think that I was dissin’,

We’d raise our voice, have another fight

All she did was talk and never listen

I knew that we would never see the light

I said goodbye to huggin’ and a’kissin’

Now I drink away most every night
