[Intro]

[Girl on voicemail]

Hi, this is a message for Sean. I don't know if I'm going to be able to deliver this very well, but, um, here it goes: can't understand the compatibility between a rat and a monkey, because eight years changes your whole mentality. And can I ask how many times was it your subconscious mind that made the decision that resulted in the unwanted confrontations, the parking violations and the boy with the Arab Strap? Listening to the dead air on the radio, trying to decide which exit to take on the I-94, feeling kinda lost having misplaced the directions

Say still three circles careful not to lair. One week later I find out I've got the whole rest of my life to live, but nothing's for certain I could die tomorrow. And I don't know if you know who this is but I can smell the liquor on your breath. I was just wondering if you might like to sit and talk about the carpet and the ceiling for a while

[Bridge]

Wise men couldn't see it in their dreams

But up rose the poets from the speed queens and the weed fiends

Speakings dissected deciphered by the undernourished purists

No longer is it a get over situation

[Chorus]

What are you really saying? (Do you think she's listening?)

What are you really saying? (Do you think she's really listening?)

What are you really saying? (Do you think she's really listening?)

Do you think she's listening?

If it makes you feel better, go ahead, make me feel small

I know what you're up to baby, build your wall

You think you've seen it all? And life has no surprises

Until you call out my name, in return you get (silence)

[Verse]

She's a high plains drifter, loner baby's a rebel

Cool disposition getcha, shows you new level

Crazy, abrasive, enough to make me wanna taste

To figure out what makes it tick so I can dig it out and break it

Curiosity killed the cat but liquor helped me build back

All of the confidence stripped

Intrigued by the fact that she could fuck, shower and bounce out my house like that

Left me sleeping with my doubts

Okay, wait I know her steez, self-inspired detachment

Keeps her cold like a breeze, she needs a heated passion

Good bedroom stabbin' break your back kinda fun

Wild, buck, turn the beats up, I'm loud when I cum

And outta no where, she says, "Word, I'll go there"

"Should we leave now, or do you want to stay a while?" she says, "I don't care"

Instantly my jacket is on and I'm erect

Get with me, "Baby where'd you park, let's jet"

Yo, she's the kind of girl that doesn't want no relationship

But damn I think she's kinda cool but damn just be patient kid

Regular basis for sex for quite a while

Puppy chased his tail carded yo he wants the idol now

Never shoulda brought it like that

Cause now when I think about it and look back

I'll never forget the way she laughed when I asked

If the only way I'll ever get to see her is when she's on her back

B-b-but the first time we fucked was shaken

Wild, Digital Underground style, no lies, no exaggeration

"Glad to make your acquaintance, what's your name again?"

"Molly"

"Good golly Miss, here take my digits please call me"

She was cool like that "Yo how'd you get like that?

I've never had a date that gave me head like that"

And it was said like that and she replied with a "thank you"

"Before you leave Molly, let me kiss that tattoo on your ankle"

And she was out, didn't see her again for the week no call

And when she see me, no attempt to speak

So like a good bitch I make the example "Baby, how you been?"

Half an hour later we're in a park, fucking like old friends

Turn on a dome light to get my pants on right

"Travel safe, see your ass around, have a good night" (bye)

That's it, no conversation, game playin' over some coffee

She's out, moments after she pulled that body off me

I'm stressed, I'm stressed, I'm so confused

She doesn't seem like the type that's that loose

Or maybe she does, realistically I don't know her that well

But if you let me, I'd follow that sexy ass to Hell and back

Tell her that (tell her that)

[Chorus]

Yo, you think she's really listening? (x4)

If it makes you feel better, go ahead and make me feel small

I know what you're up to, baby build your wall

You think you've seen it all, and life has no surprises ?

'Til you call out my name, in return you get silence
