Love Didn't Listen

He was a rebel - she was born across the tracks Her parents had - his never did To look at them, it didn't fit Everyone whispered, ain't it weird - him with her It'll never work That's what they said But to this day He takes away her breath Chorus: Love didn't listen It only hears what it wants to hear Two hearts beating as one The odds were against 'em Oh, but they had something on their side When doubt said it can't be done Love didn't listen Married one summer and it was heaven seven years Yeah, there were tears, but no big deal They just kept rollin' up love's hill Then one night it happened Bitter words, slammin' doors She said divorce - he said me too But even though it sounded like the thing to do REPEAT CHORUS It was an obstacle course Had every negative force Tellin' them they'll never make it (but) REPEAT CHORUS
