In One Ear (and Out the Other)

In one ear and out the other
No reaction when I tell her that I love her
Ignorance must be bliss
‘Cause it’s like I don’t exist
It’s in one ear and out the other

She’s in love with another
She don’t care about the spell she put me under
“I love you” is just 3 words
And she pretends she never heard me
It’s in one ear and out the other

Does she not hear me speak?
Or is she blind?
Am I dead to her?
Or is she that unkind?
She’d rather stare straight at the ceiling
Than acknowledge my feelings

Once I was the only man
In her eyes
Now it’s too much to ask
Just to be recognized
It’s not like I speak some foreign language
She's causing me mental anguish

It’s in one ear and out the other
I’m just her invisible ex-lover
My words don’t mean a thing
In the new life she’s living
It’s in one ear and out the other
It’s in one ear and out the other
