Song about a "not too bright" person

Lyrics

Momma would ask boy are you listenin'
am I gettin' through?
Are yo payin' attention
'cause boy I'm talkin' to you
it seems you lights are on
but there ain't nobody home

and she'd say
Talkin' to you is like talkini' to a wall
is anything I;m sayin; gettin' through to you at all?
Sometimes boy you can be as dence as a stone
Your lights are on but there ain't nobody home

My teacher put me in the front row
thinking it would it would help
But as she wrote her lessons on the calkboard
my mind was somewhere else

and she'd say
Talkin' to you is like talkini' to a wall
is anything I;m sayin; gettin' through to you at all?
Sometimes boy you can be as dence as a stone
Your lights are on but there ain't nobody home

My baby says I just don't listen
I probably wouldn't know her voice
So across my bedroom wall she'd written
Boy you left no choice
You see your lights are on
but ain't nobody home

and she'd say
Talkin' to you is like talkini' to a wall
is anything I;m sayin; gettin' through to you at all?
Sometimes boy you can be as dence as a stone
Your lights are on but there ain't nobody home
