Listen In -
"Free listening my right to hear what I hear, listening in
Secretly I listen to a conversation
Be plain speak up, why you mumbling listening in
opened the window just enough to eavesdrop on the conversation outside"
I am not a spy but I’d listen in
Didn’t mean to intrude just passing the monitor
An ear to the glass ceiling someone taps me on the shoulder
Am I on record gerund
Just listening, eavesdropping
WAIT
Free listening my right to hear what I hear, listening in,
"If you didn’t want me to hear why? You screaming.
Telling the person next to you so demeaning;
Your words liken rainwater that’s fallen from the eaves of a house.
Even if you whisper I still hear all your business you seemed quiet as a mouse
So!
Ain’t no wiretap just listen I do that ain't my business but I still heard all this.
Ear to the wall like a fly on manure
Stood within the eavesdrop of a house
Free listening my right to hear what I hear, listening in
To them that have ears, let them hear
monitor, snoop, spy, may survive. attend, hear, hearken, heed, mind. What’s next I Heard I hear
Now I gossip, your rants and raves like water out a faucet
If you didn’t want me to hear your conversation, I ain’t nosy you just should
keep your voice in your mind Ha! Ha! Ha! I’m just listening in."
I tell people around me "shh" as my ears to the wall and the door mine your business I'm just trying to listen in..."
