IF I LISTED TO YOU
LYRICS
If I did all the things that you tell me
And you did all things that I tell you
There's nothing that we couldn't do
If I listened to you
And you listened to me
Imagine how happy we'd be
Cause you tell me truths
I don't like to hear
Truth is painful
You know you can lie sometimes
Then I'd listen more
To the wise words you've said like
Like, like... errrr
If I did all the things that you tell me
And you did all things that I tell you
There's nothing that we couldn't do
If I listened to you
And you listened to me
Imagine how happy we'd be
We'd be healthier, happier, fitter and wiser
Richer and thinner and younger and more organised
The world would be a better place
Without war
It's a simple thing but hard to do
With ego involved it's a blinkered view
But if you saw yourself from outside, you'd say
"Why didn't you tell me!?"
The world's a crazy mixed-up place
Because of the stupid human race
Our thoughts pollute the very
Air we breathe
If we're going to be the ones to make the change
It's our thoughts we need to contain
And switch our brains from broadcast
To receive
And if I lived for you
And you lived for me
Imagine how happy we'd be
If I did all the things that you tell me
And you did all things that I tell you
There's nothing that we couldn't do
If I listened to you
And you listened to me
Imagine how happy we'd be
If you listened to me
I listened to you
We listened ro each other
Listening to you
Did you hear what I've been saying?
Has any of this registered?
You're looking at your telephone
I don't know what to say
I've done all I can
