Listen Carefully

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Babe, listen carefully, I need you to hear The first five thousand disappeared You said you’d keep it safe, you said it was all right Now every number looks different tonight [Pre-Chorus] And two thousand more, where did it go? You called it a stake in a future you know [Chorus] The first five thousand was stolen The next two thousand bought your dream You put my money in your Tesla investment Then came home and called it ours, it seems Babe, listen carefully I remember every dollar, every word [Verse 2] You drew the plans on the back of a bill Said this was the turn, said we’d climb uphill But I was counting groceries, you were counting the rise Now the truth is parked between us, plain in your eyes [Pre-Chorus] You said it was business, you said it was brave But you never once asked what I wanted to save [Chorus] The first five thousand was stolen The next two thousand bought your dream You put my money in your Tesla investment Then came home and called it ours, it seems Babe, listen carefully I remember every dollar, every word [Bridge] Don’t tell me the market will make it all right Don’t tell me tomorrow can settle tonight I trusted your hands with the life we had planned Now I need the truth, not another grand stand [Final Chorus] The first five thousand was stolen The next two thousand bought your dream You put my money in your Tesla investment And left me asking what “together” means Babe, listen carefully You can’t call it ours if you took it from me
