Testo She said, he heard Suzy Bogguss

She said, he heard

(suzy bogguss/don schlitz)

They sat at the table, polite conversation
Avoiding the issue at hand
Then he made the coffee and she did the dishes
And sat down at the table again
She waited a moment hoping he would speak first
Though it never had happened before
He sat there in silence expecting the worst
Til she couldnt wait anymore

She said Im mad
He heard Im leaving
She said I need your attention
He heard I want you to crawl
She said Im sad
He heard its all your fault
There is no translation
Emotions dont fit into words
Theres so much between what she
And what he heard

She said I love you thats not the problem
And I know how much you care
But for too long now weve been walking on eggshells
I just had to clear the air
He looked at her like she was speaking chinese
With some of the letters left out
Try as he may he just didnt know
What she was talking about

She said Im mad
He heard Im leaving
She said I need your attention
He heard I want you to crawl
She said Im sad
He heard its all your fault
There is no translation
Emotions dont fit into words
Theres so much between what she
And what he heard

Then he started smiling
And she started laughing
They both reached out their hands
She said I think were from two different planet
No wonder we misunderstand

She said Im mad
He heard Im leaving
She said I need your attention
He heard I want you to crawl
She said Im sad
He heard its all your fault
There is no translation
Emotions dont fit into words
Theres so much between what she
And what he heard
