Cheryl Wheeler - Bad Connection lyrics

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 And she says it's useless to try She's talkin' but he's not listenin' 'Cause 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' 'Cause 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
