Listen
Listen and I'll try to do the same
To take my share of blame for what went wrong
Listen to the girl you used to know
The one who loves you so for, oh, so long
I can hear our voices ringing in my head
Two girls laughing, singing on the bed
You'll hear them too
All you need to do is listen
Listen, open your heart and forgive me
Give what I need you to give me
Give me Effie back, I need my Effie back
Please sister, please, oh
I have been so all alone
Oh, won't you help me, Effie?
I lost myself, now I can't see
Who it is I'm supposed to be
No, I just don't know
Listen to the girl you used to know
The one that loved you so, back in the day
Oh Deena girl, I know what you're going through
I got through it and you can too
Now it's your turn, you've got to learn to listen
Listen, there is a voice deep inside you
This is the voice that will guide you
To where you need to be
It will set you free
Take it from me, oh
It's a long and lonely road
But girl, you gotta take it
It's gonna hurt like hell today
But trust me, girl, that will go away
It goes away
I don't wanna do it alone
Will you help me? Help me be strong!
Please? Sister please! Yeah
I'll listen to the girl I used to know
The one who loved you so, back in the day, oh
Now I know what I must do
I'm gonna need you, sister
I will be strong, I know I can
I'm gonna pick myself up and leave that man
I'm gonna make it on my own, on my own!
To take my share of blame for what went wrong
Listen to the girl you used to know
The one who loves you so for, oh, so long
I can hear our voices ringing in my head
Two girls laughing, singing on the bed
You'll hear them too
All you need to do is listen
Listen, open your heart and forgive me
Give what I need you to give me
Give me Effie back, I need my Effie back
Please sister, please, oh
I have been so all alone
Oh, won't you help me, Effie?
I lost myself, now I can't see
Who it is I'm supposed to be
No, I just don't know
Listen to the girl you used to know
The one that loved you so, back in the day
Oh Deena girl, I know what you're going through
I got through it and you can too
Now it's your turn, you've got to learn to listen
Listen, there is a voice deep inside you
This is the voice that will guide you
To where you need to be

But girl, you gotta take it

But trust me, girl, that will go away

I will be strong, I know I can
I'm gonna pick myself up and leave that man
I'm gonna make it on my own, on my own!
