Attention Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I find myself longing for attention
I'm not myself doing what I do
I know I may have hurt someone I love along the way
It wasn't my intention
I lost myself doing what I do

[Pre-Chorus]
I just want your attention
Oh, the crazy things I do

[Chorus]
So why, why do I think it's okay
Not being me 'cause of you?
And what do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To get your attention
'Cause I just want your attention

[Verse 2]
I fool myself just to make you happy
And when I do, it's all the same to you (It's all the same to you)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the crazy things I do
[Chorus]
So why, why do I think it's okay
Not being me 'cause of you?
And what do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To get your attention

[Bridge]
Oh, I don't wanna do this no more
If I'm the only one here on the dance floor, on the dance floor
Oh

[Chorus]
Why, why do I think it's okay
Not being me 'cause of you?
And what do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To get your attention
'Cause I just want your attention

  • 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 [?]
