Chely Wright › Lyrics › Love Didn't Listen

He was a rebel, she was born across the tracks
Her parents had his never did
To look at them, it didn't fit
Everyone whispered, ain't it weird, him with her
It'll never work that's what they said
But to this day he takes away her breath

Love didn't listen
It only hears what it wants to hear
Two hearts beating as one
The odds were against 'em
Oh, but they had somethin' on their side
When doubt said, "It can't be done"
Love didn't listen

They married one summer and it was Heaven seven years
Yeah, there were tears but no big deal
They just kept rollin' up love's hill
Then one night it happened bitter words, slammin' doors
She said, "Divorce", he said, "Me too"
But even though it sounded like the thing to do

Love didn't listen
It only hears what it wants to hear
Two hearts beating as one
The odds were against 'em
Oh, but they had somethin' on their side
When doubt said, "It can't be done"
Love didn't listen

It was an obstacle course
Had every negative force
Tellin' them they'll never make it

But love didn't listen
It only hears what it wants to hear
Two hearts beating as one
The odds were against 'em
Oh, but they had somethin' on their side
When doubt said, "It can't be done"
Love didn't listen

Love didn't listen
Love didn't listen
Love didn't listen
Didn't listen
