Some People Just Don’t Get It Lyrics

You say the sky is blue but they look confused

Tell them water's wet and they refuse

It's like talking to a wall no one's home

You try to spell it out but you're still alone

It's right in front of their face

But they can't seem to find their place

You draw a map you give a clue

But they still ask "What should I do?"

Some people just don't get it

No matter how you set it

You can spell it out in bold

But it's like their brain's on hold

Some people just don't see it

Though it's clear as day believe it

You can try to make it fit

But some people just don't get it

You tell them 2 plus 2 it equals four

But they're stuck at three asking for more

You say it's black and white they see it gray

No matter what you do it's the same old day

It's like they're lost without a map

You give them facts they take a nap

You shine a light they close their eyes

And then they wonder why they're surprised

Some people just don't get it

No matter how you set it

You can spell it out in bold

But it's like their brain's on hold

Some people just don't see it

Though it's clear as day believe it

You can try to make it fit

But some people just don't get it

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink

You can give them all the answers but you can't make them think

You can show them every sign put it right in their hand

But some folks just don't understand

Some people just don't get it

No matter how you set it

You can spell it out in bold

But it's like their brain's on hold

Some people just don't see it

Though it's clear as day believe it

You can try to make it fit

But some people just don't get it

So here's to those who try their best

Even when they fail the test

Just shake your head and take a breath

Some people just don't get it I guess
