I've been trying to find the right words But they always seem to hit the page wrong You see I tend to fight words You breathe 'em into life, and they're gone I need some louder speaking actions They do what letters could never do You see, you are my addiction I need more than words to show you So listen to me, so listen Listen to my heartbeat I'd like to think you understand me But I never really like to assume So you never have to ask me I'mma let my actions tell you the tru-hu-huth For you-hu-hu-hu There is nothing I wouldn't go through-hu-hu-hu And if you need some proo-hu-hu-oof You can find it in what I do-hu-hu-hu Listen to me baby And I could tell you everyday Just how much I want you I-I-I-I I've never been good with words But I went and wrote this song for you So listen to me, so listen Listen to my heartbeat So listen to me, so listen Listen to my heartbeat Ba-ba-baby I need you to listen, open up your ears Pay attention, let go of your fears I'm not trying to be that dude that got these people in your business I'm just trying to love you, can I get a witness? Oh Le le le le le let the church say amen! (amen) 'Cause I know that you need a man! (a man) And I'm gon' do whatever I can So stop with all the dissin' Get to the kissin' Baby you know whatchu missin'! So listen to me, so listen Listen to my heartbeat So listen to me, so listen Listen to my heartbeat Listen to my heartbeat Listen to my heartbeat
