Cheryl Wheeler - Bad Connection Lyrics

She sits and stares into space
He's wearing the same old face
She hates him half the time
And swears he doesn't mind
No kind word no fond embrace.

She says they don't talk enough
He feels like she talks too much
She sites her years of patience
In all their conversations
He sits down turns TV up.

Chorus:
She's talkin' but he's not listenin'
He's heard it a thousand times
He tells her but she don't hear him
She listens between the lines.

She points out things they drive by
He speaks but not in reply
Then conversation ranges
From nil to terse exchanges
She says it's useless to try.

Chorus:
She's talkin' but he's not listenin'
He's heard it a thousand times
He tells her but she don't hear him
She listens between the lines.

If there was love in this house
It's missin' by now
Their walkin' in two directions
And nothin' can clear
The static in here
Oh talk about bad connections.

She's talkin' but he's not listenin'
He's heard it a thousand times
And he swears he tells her but she don't hear him
Damn she listens between the lines...
