Lyrics

Attention

[Intro]

Babe, baby, baby

I ain't tryna nag you

Just come talk to me, talk to me - to me

You know, we don't get to spend time no more

I miss you daddy

[Verse 1]

I know that life has dealt us many cards

Sometimes I swear he's trying to make it hard

And I don't want to have to hide my faults

But he got busy, and let down the gards

[Chorus]

I need attention from you

It's just the little things we do

Pay attention, it's on you

'Cause I can't help it, I just like it when you do

Yeah

[Verse 2]

I don't wanna nag and start a fight

But sometimes you forget and I get tired

If he was out of sight and out of mind

So darlin' listen now, just make it right

[Chorus]

I need attention from you

It's just the little things we do

Pay attention, it's on you

'Cause I can't help it, I just like it when you do

Yeah

[Bridge]

You make my heart monsoon baby

And we could make life through baby

So take my hand and we'll glide away

[Chorus]

I need attention from you

It's just the little things we do

Pay attention, it's on you

'Cause I can't help it, I just like it when you do, yeah

[Verse 3]

Oh, would you follow now?

Just look me in the eyes

Remember what makes me smile

You used to make me high

Let's go way back in time

Come baby lay me down

[Chorus]

I need attention from you

It's just the little things we do

Pay attention, it's on you

'Cause I can't help it, I just like it when you do, yeah

I need attention from you

It's just the little things we do

Pay attention, it's on you

'Cause I can't help it, I just like it when you do, yeah
