Lyrics
SHE WOULDN’T LISTEN
Clement J. Gareau
Morris P. Rainville
She said to her papa, “I don’t care what you say
Other girls do it, times have changed since your days”
He said, “Why do you argue, you know we love you kitten
And we want what’s best for you”, and she just wouldn’t listen.
Chorus
She wouldn’t listen to her papa
She wouldn’t listen to her mama
She wouldn’t listen to her boyfriend
She was strong-willed and she just wouldn’t listen.
She said to her boyfriend, “I don’t care what you say
You’re not the boss of me, I’ll live my life my way”
He said, “Why do you argue, you know I love you kitten
I want to take care of you”, and she just wouldn’t listen
To chorus
Bridge
She wouldn’t listen but it made her think
It made her think, it made her think.
Her papa gave up on her, her mama gave up on her
Her boyfriend said bye to her, her friends had no time for her
She had a very strong will, she listened like a kitten
And she didn’t care, and she just wouldn’t listen.
To chorus
Ending
She was like a kitten, She just wouldn’t listen
She just wouldn’t listen, She just wouldn’t listen.
Even to her mama who loved her so much.
