Don't Even Try Lyrics

Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't think I don't hear,
Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't you think I care?

Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't think I dont hear,
Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't you think I care?

CHORUS
You don't rate to take my time now,
you don't even qualify.
You don't rate to take my time now,
don't even try,
don't even try,
don't even try.

Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't think I dont hear,
Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't you think I care?

CHORUS
You don't rate to take my time now,
you don't even qualify.
You don't rate to take my time now,
don't even try,
don't even try,
don't even try.

BRIDGE
You can't change my life!
You can't make things right!
You can't change my life!
You can't make things right!

You don't rate to take my time now,
you don't even qualify.
You don't rate to take my time now,
your black nets are full of lies!
You don't rate to take my time now,
you don't even qualify.
You don't rate to take my time now,
don't even try,
don't even try,
don't even try,
don't even try.

All My Balloons

Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't think I don't hear,
Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't you think I care?

Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't think I dont hear,
Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't you think I care?

CHORUS
You don't rate to take my time now,
you don't even qualify.
You don't rate to take my time now,
don't even try,
don't even try,
don't even try.

Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't think I dont hear,
Don't think I'm not listening to you,
Don't you think I care?

CHORUS
You don't rate to take my time now,
you don't even qualify.
You don't rate to take my time now,
don't even try,
don't even try,
don't even try.

BRIDGE
You can't change my life!
You can't make things right!
You can't change my life!
You can't make things right!

You don't rate to take my time now,
you don't even qualify.
You don't rate to take my time now,
your black nets are full of lies!
You don't rate to take my time now,
you don't even qualify.
You don't rate to take my time now,
don't even try,
don't even try,
don't even try,
don't even try.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song sound like it is talking about temptation, or perhaps dwelling on previous failures. this was an early song (pre "Songs of Desperation" era). so you may not have heard it, I will post a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mub2A7wDF4
