I Don't Want to Hear It Anymore
Shelby Lynne Lyrics

In my neighborhood
The singer lives in a neighborhood where life isn't luxurious.

We don't live so good
The living conditions in the singer's neighborhood aren't the best.

The rooms are small
The rooms in the buildings are tiny and cramped.

And the buildings made of wood

I hear the neighbors talking bout you and me

I guess I heard it all

Cause the talk is loud
The neighbors are gossiping loudly, making it difficult to ignore or avoid the rumors.

And the walls are much too thin

He don't really love her
According to the neighbors, the other person involved doesn't actually love the artist.

Thats what I heard them say
The artist heard rumors suggesting that the other person doesn't love them.

He sure wasn't thinking of her today, oh no

I saw them in the front yard

Said the boy in room 149

He was talking to a girl Ive never seen before
The boy in room 149 was seen with an unfamiliar girl by the singer.

And standing there together, oh they looked so good
The boy in room 149 and the girl he was with looked happy and physically attractive together.

Ain't it sad, said the woman down the hall
Another neighbor, a woman down the hall, comments on the unfortunate situation of the artist falling in love with someone who doesn't love them back.

That when a nice girl falls in love

Ain't it just too bad that she had to fall

For a boy who doesn't care for her at all?

I don't want to hear it anymore

(I don't want to hear it)

(Anymore)
