He was a rebel she was born across the tracks Her parents had his never did To look at them it didn't fit Everyone whispered ain't it weird him with her It'll never work that's what they said But to this day he takes away her breath [Chorus:] Love didn't listen It only hears what it wants to hear Two hearts beating as one The odds were against 'em Oh but they had something on their side When doubt said it can't be done
Love didn't listen Married one summer and it was heaven seven years Yeah, there were tears but no big deal They just kept rollin' up love's hill Then one night it happened, bitter words, slammin' doors She said divorce he said me too But even though it sounded like the thing to do [Chorus] It was an obstacle course Had every negative force Tellin' them they'll never make it (but) [Chorus]
