Do You Hear What I Hear?
Trailer Trash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I close my mind, to things you say
I will not hear a word... you have lost all my respect... how could I've been lured

I can not hear you
Your on my case, once again bout how I do my job... but your the one that sucks up and acts Like a snob
I can not hear you
You might think I'd give in, but to me that's a sin... do you know where I'll begin
Don't you tell me, what to do
I know it sounds absurd... I'm tired of the know it alls..soon I will be heard





I can not hear you
I can not hear you
