[Verse] Baby, I don't know why you're repeating yourself I caught every word that you said You wanted me to pick something up from the store At least I think that's what I read From your lips while the game was on And my fantasy team was down I was listening, I swear I was listening I just… help me out with that noun [Pre-Chorus] Was it milk? Was it bread? Was it something for your mother? I retained the general vibe Even if I lost the other Details, small details Baby, I got the gist [Chorus] I heard you the first time (I heard you, I heard you) Don't need to hear it twice I heard you the first time (Loud and clear) Your voice is so precise I'm an excellent listener Oh, that's funny, so am I I heard you the first time So why are you asking why? [Verse] Honey, I don't know why you're upset with me I was totally locked in You were telling a story about Dave from work And I nodded where the pauses had been My phone was out, that's true But I've mastered the peripheral glance I was listening, I swear I was listening I just… which Dave? Give me one more chance [Pre-Chorus] Is he tall Dave? Bald Dave? The one who brought the weird dip? I remember all your coworkers I just sometimes let them slip Details, small details Baby, I got the theme [Chorus] I heard you the first time (I heard you, I heard you) Don't need to say it again I heard you the first time (Crystal clear) I knew it way back then I'm a wonderful listener That's hilarious, me too I heard you the first time I just need a tiny clue [Bridge] Okay. So maybe I don't remember you asking me to call the plumber three weeks ago But in my defense… you said it during the fourth quarter And maybe I don't recall the name of your new boss But in my defense… you told me while I was ordering dinner On my phone. With headphones in It's not that I don't care It's not that I don't try It's just that after all these years Some words go floating by [Verse] You asked me to grab the dry cleaning That was in February, dear I've had a lot on my mind since then IT'S OCTOBER! That tracks... [pause] yeah... You told me about your promotion Three times on three separate days I remember the word "exciting" That's the only word? …I was in a haze [Chorus] I heard you the first time And I'll hear you again I heard you the first time Like I heard you way back when We're both excellent listeners The very best around I heard you the first time So stop making that sound [Outro] Did you call that plumber? Yeah, [pause] wait what Plummer?
