[Verse 1]
Talk to me, you never talk to me
Ooh, it seems that I can speak
But I can hear my voice shouting out
[Refrain]
But there's no reply at all
[Verse 2]
Look at me, you never look at me
Ooh, I've been sitting, staring, seems so long
But you're looking through me like I wasn't here at all
[Refrain]
No reply
There's no reply at all
[Verse 3]
Dance with me, you never dance with me
Ooh, it seems that I can move
I'm close to you, close as I can get
[Refrain]
Yet there's no reply at all
There's no reply at all
[Chorus]
I get the feeling you're trying to tell me
Is there something that I should know?
What excuse are you trying to sell me?
Should I be reading stop or go? I don't know
[Verse 4]
Be with me, seems you're never here with me
Ooh, I've been trying to get over there
Oh, but it's out of my reach
[Refrain]
And there's no reply at all
There's no reply at all
[Chorus]
I get the feeling you're trying to tell me
Is there something that I should know?
What excuse are you trying to sell me?
Should I be reading stop or go? I don't know
[Bridge]
Maybe deep down inside
I'm trying for no one else but me
Too stubborn to say, "The buck stops here
It's not the one you're looking for"
But maybe deep down inside
I'm lying to no one else but me
Oh, but my back is up, I'm on my guard
With all the exits sealed
[Verse 5]
Listen to me, you never listen to me
Ooh, and it seems there's no way out
I've been trying, but we cannot connect
[Refrain]
And there's no reply at all
There's no reply at all
There's no reply at all
No reply at all
[Outro]
Is anybody listening? Oh, there's no reply at all
Is anybody listening? Oh, no reply at all
Is anybody listening? Oh, no reply at all
Is anybody listening? Oh, no reply at all
Is anybody listening? Oh, no reply at all
