Bad Connection - Cheryl Wheeler

作曲：Cheryl Wheeler

She sits and stares into space

He's wearing the same old face

She hates him half the time

And swears he doesn't mind

No kind word no fond embrace

She says they don't talk enough

He feels like she talks too much

She sites her years of patience

In all their conversations

He sits down turns TV up

She's talkin' but he's not listenin'

He's heard it a thousand times

He tells her but she don't hear him

She listens between the lines

She points out things they drive by

He speaks but not in reply

Then conversation ranges

From nil to terse exchanges

She says it's useless to try

She's talkin' but he's not listenin'

He's heard it a thousand times

He tells her but she don't hear him

She listens between the lines

If there was love in this house

It's missin' by now

Their walkin' in two directions

And nothin' can clear

The static in here

Oh talk about bad connections

She's talkin' but he's not listenin'

He's heard it a thousand times

And he swears he tells her but she don't hear him

Damn she listens between the lines
