If I Listened to You

If I did all the things that you tell me And you did all things that I tell you There's nothing that we couldn't do If I listened to you And you listened to me Imagine how happy we'd be Cause you tell me truths I don't like to hear Truth is painful You know you can lie sometimes Then I'd listen more To the wise words you've said like Like, like... errrr If I did all the things that you tell me And you did all things that I tell you There's nothing that we couldn't do If I listened to you And you listened to me Imagine how happy we'd be We'd be healthier, happier, fitter and wiser Richer and thinner and younger and more organised The world would be a better place Without war It's a simple thing but hard to do With ego involved it's a blinkered view But if you saw yourself from outside, you'd say "Why didn't you tell me!?" The world's a crazy mixed-up place Because of the stupid human race Our thoughts pollute the very Air we breathe If we're going to be the ones to make the change It's our thoughts we need to contain And switch our brains from broadcast To receive And if I lived for you And you lived for me Imagine how happy we'd be If I did all the things that you tell me And you did all things that I tell you There's nothing that we couldn't do If I listened to you And you listened to me Imagine how happy we'd be If you listened to me I listened to you We listened to each other Listening to you Did you hear what I've been saying? Has any of this registered? You're looking at your telephone I don't know what to say I've done all I can
