The Walls Have Ears Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The walls have ears
Ears that hear each little sound you make
Every time you stamp, throw a lamp
And every cup and dish you break

[Chorus]
But they can't hear a kiss
Or two arms that hold you tight
So come on, baby
Don't fight tonight

[Verse 2]
The walls have ears
Better think before you fling that shoe
If you part my hair with a chair
They'll spread the news to Timbuktu

[Chorus]
But they can't hear a kiss
Or two arms that hold you tight
So come on, baby
Don't fight tonight

[Bridge]
Jets can fly, fast and high
Rockets can go even faster
But they can't catch or even match
Sound traveling through plaster
[Verse 1]
The walls have ears
Ears that hear each little sound you make
Every time you stamp, throw a lamp
And every cup and dish you break

[Chorus]
But they can't hear a kiss
Or two arms that hold you tight
So come on, baby
Don't fight tonight
Just dim the light
Don't fight tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
