Iris, Donnie - I Can't Hear You Lyrics






Now why you diggin' me
Why you stickin' me
You always get what you need
While I've grown deaf to you
What's really left of you
You can yell
You can scream
You can be real mean but

I can't hear you no more
No more
Well, I can't hear you
No more
Yeah

You used to be so bland
You used to understand
You always gave me a hand
But now you're getting bold
You know it's getting old
I guess I know where you're really at

Now you just talk about your fancy friends
And all the money they can spend
They all drive Mercedes Benz
Better strap on my guitar
Gotta be a big rock star
I got it turned up to 10

So I can't hear you... no more
No more
No more
I can't hear you... no more
Baby baby baby
I can't hear you... no more baby
Aw babe I can't hear ya no more
I can't hear you... no more...
Well

Stop all your bitchin'
Back in the kitchen

You'd better straighten up
It's time that you woke up
You better learn to be sweet
'Cause you been on the rag
And all you do is nag
It means nothing to me

Cause
I can't hear you... no more
I can't hear you... no more
Baby baby baby
I can't hear you... no more no more
I can't hear you
I can't hear you
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you

    Kids lol...There was no 1980 CD release of this album, it was initially LP and cassette only. I know it was reissued on CD in 1993 in the US, not sure if that was the only one but it looks like it was the first official CD release at least.

  2. R.... M....

    Now why you diggin' me
    Why you stickin' me
    You always get what you need
    While I've grown deaf to you

    You can be real mean but

    I can't hear you no more
    No more
    Well, I can't hear you
    No more
    Yeah

    You used to be so bland
    You used to understand

    But now you're getting bold
    You know it's getting old
    I guess I know where you're really at

    Now you just talk about your fancy friends
    And all the money they can spend
    They all drive Mercedes Benz
    Better strap on my guitar
    Gotta be a big rock star

  12. J.... B....

    Quit your bitchin back in the kitchen a good lyric to tell your wife

  13. S.... H....

    Stop all your bitchen,back in the kitchen,best lyric ever LOL

  14. L.... D....

    I got it turned up to 10

  15. N.... J....

    Sounds like a Ringo star song

  16. W.... R....

    I am 54 now. I saw Donnie Iris in a club on my 18th birthday! Always been a fan! This album was amazing!!

  17. S.... P....

    This song needs to be on rock station play lists.

    S.... P....

    Shawn P It is in Pittsburgh, Pa!

    S.... P....

    As Martha said. .

  18. p.... t....

    The man rules. He has the power pop, with buddy Holly vibes, thing down. First human being to do that. Before Elvis Costello's failed attempt.to fumble that shit. Epic song.

  19. R.... S....

    This guy in his prime, rivals anyone in rock! Pittsburgh, L.A., Honolulu, anywhere! World class!

  20. G.... S....

    you been on the rag, all you do is nag...Sweet!

  21. J.... L....

    I remember him at the Stanley theater doing this song, great intro about being downstairs

  22. j.... ....

    feminists heads up. 😂

  23. T.... K....

    Black n Gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. M.... A....

    Pittsburgh!!!

  25. D.... V....

    thanks for posting this- truly a very underrated album and artist

  26. T.... M....

    I wonder how many seeds for divorce were sown with someone hearing this in their head on some mere happen chance Thursday night.

  27. V.... W....

    Only reason I know and love this song isthat my dad is from outside of johnstown, Pa

  28. C.... ....

    This guy's songs have the greatest beginning guitar riffs in the history of rock.

    C.... ....

    You got that right. I miss that kind of music. The very early 1980s was the last gasp of the greatest rock era ever. Judging by your handle, I also think that politically Reagan's first year was the best in the postwar era. Do you agree?

  29. K.... ....

    Stop all your bitchin...back in the kitchen!

    K.... ....

    hahha- that line comes out of nowhere

    K.... ....

    Best Line in song.

    K.... ....

    STILL cranking up this song, especially the part of "Stop ur Bitching, Get back in the kitchen in 2019!! LOVE IT!!!

  30. t.... ....

    when wdve played good music

    t.... ....

    themopar426 they're only allowed to play 10 songs a day you know that. Working man by rush, copperhead road, a Tom Petty song. 103.1 KVE is the new good station

    t.... ....

    so true havent been good since jimmy and stevie

    t.... ....

    103.1 KVE plays this song a lot.

    t.... ....

    @Douglas Show my cousin works there

  31. l.... ....

    Thanks for posting this - I heard it only once before, in 1980, and remember the "Stop all your bitchin..." line like it was yesterday.

  32. W.... M....

    Probably my fav from this LP. Shouldve been DIs first hit after The Jaggerz whom he was in with my dad. :)

    W.... M....

    Your dad was one the best drummers in the business, William. His beat was like his signature, you knew it was him!

    W.... M....

    That's awesome. Donnie Iris and his band are definitely a class act! I had all the albums at 1 time

  33. P.... ....

    I like it! If nothing else you have to admit that Donnie's songs are well crafted and layered.

  34. b.... ....

    I wore this out on eight track then did the same on cassette I don't think my car would run without it

  35. c.... ....

    so im thinking he cant hear you...

  36. D.... N....

    Probably the most under-rated album of the decade, should've been the soundtrack to Fast Times at Ridgemont High
