Words Lyrics
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
The words are audible but I have my doubts
That you realize what has been said
You look at me as if you're in a daze
It's like the feeling at the end of the page
When you realize you don't know what you just read
What are words for
When no one listens anymore?
What are words for
When no one listens?
What are words for?
When no one listens, it's no use talking at all
I might as well go up and talk to a wall
'Cause all the words are having no effect at all
It's a funny thing
Am I all alone?
Something has to happen to change the direction
What little filters through is giving you the wrong impression
It's a sorry state, I say to myself
What are words for
When no one listens anymore?
What are words for
When no one listens?
What are words for?
When no one listens, it's no use talking at all
Do you hear me
Do you care
Do you hear me
Do you care
Let me get by
Over your dead body
Hope to see you soon
When will I know
Doors three feet wide with no locks, open
Walking always backwards in the faces of strangers
Time could be my friend
But it's less than nowhere now
Less than nowhere now
Less than nowhere now
Now
Ow, ow, ow
Pursue it further and another thing you'll find
Not only are they deaf and dumb
They could be going blind
No one notices
I think I'll dye my hair blue
Media overload bombarding you with action
It's getting near impossible to cause distraction
Someone answer me before I pull out the plug
What are words for
When no one listens anymore?
What are words for
When no one listens?
What are words for?
When no one listens, it's no use talking at all
What are words for
When no one listens anymore?
What are words for
When no one listens?
What are words for?
When no one listens, it's no use talking at all
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Tell me, what are words for?
Do you hear me?
Tell me, what are words for?
Do you care
Tell me, what are words for?
Do you hear me?
So tell me, what are words for?
Do you care?
So tell me, what are words for?
Do you hear me?
Tell me what are words for?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
The words are audible but I have my doubts
That you realize what has been said
You look at me as if you're in a daze
It's like the feeling at the end of the page
When you realize you don't know what you just read
When no one listens anymore?
What are words for
When no one listens?
What are words for?
When no one listens, it's no use talking at all
'Cause all the words are having no effect at all
It's a funny thing
Am I all alone?
What little filters through is giving you the wrong impression
It's a sorry state, I say to myself
When no one listens anymore?
What are words for
When no one listens?
What are words for?
When no one listens, it's no use talking at all
Do you care
Do you hear me
Do you care
Over your dead body
Hope to see you soon
When will I know
Doors three feet wide with no locks, open
Walking always backwards in the faces of strangers
Time could be my friend
But it's less than nowhere now
Less than nowhere now
Less than nowhere now
Now
Ow, ow, ow
Not only are they deaf and dumb
They could be going blind

When no one listens anymore?
What are words for
When no one listens?
What are words for?
When no one listens, it's no use talking at all
When no one listens anymore?
What are words for
When no one listens?
What are words for?
When no one listens, it's no use talking at all
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Tell me, what are words for?
Do you care
Tell me, what are words for?
Do you hear me?
So tell me, what are words for?
Do you care?
So tell me, what are words for?
Do you hear me?
Tell me what are words for?

love the video

My interpretation is this song is about someone who is being ignored or unwanted.

I don't know why, but I could imagine some kind of teenage American having some kind of problem while listening this song and meditating about life, great melodic sound in any case from the romantic times!

The Bee Gees wrote this man??!
@redshiftdazzler Different song. Bee Gees did write a song called "Words" but this isn't it.
