Attention

[Verse 1:]
I know that life has delt us many cards,
Sometimes I swear he's trying to make it hard,
and i don't want to have to hide me thoughts
But he got busy and let down the gaurds.
[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 and just make it right.
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
You make my heart monsoon baby
And we could make life through baby
So take my hand and we'll glide the way.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Why would you follow now?
Just look me in my eyes.
Remember what makes me smile
you use to make me high
let's go way back in time
come baby lay me down.
[Chorus until song fades]
