Lyrics
Attention
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hey!
Now that you have my attention,
What are you gonna do?
You might have good intention
But they're not coming through
You're very pleased with yourself I see,
It's like a walk in the park
You weren't lying by anyone else, cause
You can see in the dark
Got a lock,
Got a key
Got some kind of vice-like grip on me
On a leash, by the reigns
Got a look that puts me in chains
I tried a subtle suggestion
A more direct approach
A can't make your connection
You're beyond reproach
No need for petty excuses
No need for dumbing around
I don't know what the use is
But what you knowing down
Got a lock,
Got a key
Got some kind of vice-like grip on me
On a leash, by the reigns
Got a look that puts me in chains
Weird mix of lyrics here:
Do you like the reflection?
Do you love the reflection?
Do you like what you see?
Do you like the attention?
Do you like the attention you get from me?
Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey!
Now that you have my attention...
Got some kind of vice-like grip on me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey... (continues)
Got a lock,
Got a key.
