Here to Listen

Whenever you've had a problem, babe
I've tried to help you find a solution
But no matter what it is that I suggest
To you it's just air pollution

I've learned, baby, slowly, over the years
That what you really want is my ears

I'm here to listen, to everything you say
And pay attention, I'll never look away
I'll put down my guitar, and turn off the TV
I'm here to listen, understand and agree

Whenever you've had a bad day, babe
I've tried to make you feel good again
I offer you my body and mind
But you never want either of them

I've learned, baby, slowly, over the years
That what you really want is my ears

I'm here to listen, to everything you say
And pay attention, I'll never look away
I'll put down my guitar, and turn off the TV
I'm here to listen, understand and agree

You don't need me for my money
Don't want me for my looks
You don't wanna hear what I have to say
And you don't want me readin' no books
But I'm not good for nothin'
I figured out what I'm worth
As long as I keep my big mouth shut
I know why I'm on this Earth

I'm here to listen, to everything you say
And pay attention, I'll never look away
I'll put down my guitar, and turn off the TV
I'm here to listen, understand and agree

Who needs your girlfriends, when you've got me
Why pay for a shrink, when I'll do it for free
I'm here to listen,... understand,... and agree
