Listen to Listen to Listen to I love to listen to I love to listen to I love to Take a girl like that and put her in a natural setting like a cafe for example. Along comes the boy and he's looking for trouble with a girl like that, with a girl like that. Who knows what they'll decide to do? Who knows what they'll get up to? I'd love to know, wouldn't you? [Chorus 1:] I love to, I love to listen to Love to, I love to listen to I love to, I love to listen to Love to, I love to [Chorus 2:] I love to listen to Beethoven I love to listen to Beethoven I love to listen to Beethoven I love to You think you know just what you want but you have used that weapon against me. Did I tell you I was lying by the way when I said I wanted a new mink coat? I was thinking of something sleek to wrap around my tender throat. I was dreaming like a Texan girl. A girl who thinks she's got the right to everything. A girl who thinks she should have something extreme. I love to listen to I love to listen to I love to listen to I love to [Chorus 2: x5]
