Now why you diggin' me Why you stickin' me You always get what you need While I've grown deaf to you What's really left of you You can yell You can scream You can be real mean but I can't hear you no more No more Well, I can't hear you No more Yeah You used to be so bland You used to understand You always gave me a hand But now you're getting bold You know it's getting old I guess I know where you're really at Now you just talk about your fancy friends And all the money they can spend They all drive Mercedes Benz Better strap on my guitar Gotta be a big rock star I got it turned up to 10 So I can't hear you... no more No more No more I can't hear you... no more Baby baby baby I can't hear you... no more baby Aw babe I can't hear ya no more I can't hear you... no more... Well Stop all your bitchin' Back in the kitchen You'd better straighten up It's time that you woke up You better learn to be sweet You been on the rag All you do is nag It means nothing to me Cause I can't hear you... no more I can't hear you... no more Baby baby baby I can't hear you... no more no more I can't hear you I can't hear you I can't hear you no more I can't hear you I can't hear you no more I can't hear you
