Listen To Me
Hollies · Finest [2007]
Have you ever wondered why
Whenever thing goes wrong
Nobody stops to lend a hand
Nobody seems to care
When she looks you in the eye
And suddenly you're strong
And very soon you realise
That you didn't care about love
Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind
Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find
Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care
And very soon you've forgotten that you didn't care about love
Does it hurt to realise
You've been acting very strange
Refusing to take the love she gives
Pretending you don't care
Did it take you by surprise
To discover how you'd changed
How you forgot to remember
That you didn't care about love
Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind
Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find
Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care
And very soon you've forgotten
That you didn't care about love
Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind
Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find
Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care
And very soon you've forgotten
That you didn't care about love
You didn't care about love
You didn't care about
You didn't care about
You didn't care about love

The recording showcases the harmonies that defined The Hollies' contribution to British Invasion music, reflecting the optimism and youthful energy characteristic of their catalogue.

It stands as a representative example of the polished production and lyrical depth that made The Hollies a defining act of the time.
