Story Behind The Song

The story is one of the disconnect between people today, due to impersonal communications via cell phones. It demonstrates the paradox of being in the proximity of other humans, only to ignore them in favor of using text messages.

Song Description

The singer is in a live-in relationship, yet feels ignored. Her mate is always on his cell phone, texting or whatever. She cries out for attention and he ignores her. She is confused, but finally departs with the flippant attitude that that's just the way it is. No big deal!

Lyrics

You Ignore Me
(Intro)
I. Love me. Love me, not. Love me. Love me, not.
I just can't... make up my mind.
I know. I don't know. I know. I don't know.
I'm so confused. I can't decide.
(Chorus)
I'm cryin' out to you. It's 4:30 a.m. and I'm blue.
We're in th' same room, but, you pretend to sleep right through.
I'd get up at any hour, if you wanted me to.
But, you ignore me. You ignore me.
(Turnaround)
II. You say. You don't say. You say. You don't say.
Just text me. Text me right now!
Your phone. On your phone. Your phone. On your phone.
Am I bein' used? I feel left out.
(Chorus)
I'm cryin' out to you. It's 4:30 a.m. and I'm blue.
We're in th' same room, but, you pretend to sleep right through.
I'd get up at any hour, if you wanted me to.
But, you ignore me. You ignore me.
(Turnaround)
III. I packed. I just packed. I packed. I just packed.
Didn' break yo' stuff. Ain't even mad.
I'll go. Go my way. I'll go. Go my way.
And, when I'm gone... you won't feel bad.
(Chorus)
I'm cryin' out to you. It's 4:30 a.m. and I'm blue.
We're in th' same room, but, you pretend to sleep right through.
I'd get up at any hour, if you wanted me to.
But, you ignore me. You ignore me.
(Tag) You ignore me. You ignore me.
(Music out)
