Can anybody listen
Is anybody out there who cares
I scream out your name
But you pay no attention

Can anybody listen
Is anybody out there who cares
I scream out your name
But you pay no attention

Guide my life with an old beaten road
Soon I can’t tell just which way to go
The path I see before me
Becomes more and more worn down

Soon something catches my eye and I’m off your beaten path
When I try to tell you more you won’t hear a word
I say why can’t you listen to me please
You don’t even know who I am anymore

Can anybody listen
Is anybody out there who cares
I scream out your name
But you pay no attention

Can anybody listen
Is anybody out there who cares
I scream out your name
But you pay no attention

I try to explain
So you can see who I am
But you are far too busy
Building me a perfect model

Your bar’s set too high I don’t think that I can reach
When I try to tell you more you don’t even think
For a second about how I feel about it first
What can I do to make you see

Can anybody listen
Is anybody out there who cares
I scream out your name
But you pay no attention

Can anybody listen
Is anybody out there who cares
I scream out your name
But you pay no attention

It’s like I’m falling on deaf ears
So stubborn can’t get through
It’s your way there’s no way out
I can’t be myself for you

It’s like I’m falling on deaf ears
So stubborn can’t get through
It’s your way there’s no way out
I can’t be myself for you

Can anybody listen
Is anybody out there who cares
I scream out your name
But you pay no attention

Can anybody listen
(It’s like I’m falling on deaf ears)
Is anybody out there who cares
(So stubborn can’t get through)
I scream out your name
It’s your way there’s no way out)
But you pay no attention
(I can’t be myself for you)

(It’s like I’m falling on deaf ears
So stubborn can’t get through
It’s your way there’s no way out
I can’t be myself for you

It’s like I’m falling on deaf ears
So stubborn can’t get through
It’s your way there’s no way out
I can’t be myself for you)
