love didn't listen

(wendell mobley/stephany delray)
He was a rebel she was born across the tracks
Her parents had his never did
To look at them it didnt fit
Everyone whispered aint it weird him with her
Itll never work thats what they said
But to this day he takes away her breath
Love didnt listen
It only hears what it wants to hear
Two hearts beating as one
The odds were against em
Oh but they had something on their side
When doubt said it cant be done
Love didnt listen
Married one summer and it was heaven seven years
Yeah, there were tears but no big deal
They just kept rollin up loves hill
Then one night it happened, bitter words, slammin doors
She said divorce he said me too
But even though it sounded like the thing to do
Love didnt listen
It only hears what it wants to hear
Two hearts beating as one
The odds were against em
Oh but they had something on their side
When doubt said it cant be done
Love didnt listen
It was an obstacle course
Had every negative force
Tellin them theyll never make it (but)
Love didnt listen
It only hears what it wants to hear
Two hearts beating as one
The odds were against em
Oh but they had something on their side
When doubt said it cant be done
Love didnt listen
