If Only You Would Listen The Original Broadway Cast of School of Rock

You always talk, talk, talk all the time
You never let me get in a word
I wish I had, I had a dime
For every thought I've swallowed unheard
No matter what it is that I do,
It's like I just can't seem to get through

I've got so much to say,
If only you would listen
I've tried every which way,
And still you never listen
Can't you see I'm hurting?
I couldn't be more clear
But I promise one day I'll make you hear

You know I try, try, try to explain
I'm not the kid you want me to be
And yet it's all, it's all in vain
You just don't wanna see the real me
You think you know what I'm all about,
And yet you just keep shutting me out

I've got so much to share,
If only you would listen
You could show that you care,
If only you could listen
I'm not gonna beg you,
You'll never see a tear
But I promise one day I'll make you hear
