Can't really explain what precipitated this lyric in mixed company but I guess you had to be there. LOL Been a very long couple of weeks of 12+ hr work days and I needed a writing break...and this is what floated by. Probably not very commercial in its current form so any thoughts or suggestions are most welcome! grin I just had to write SOMETHING!!


I Need Some Attention
2006 Lyrics by Bobbie Gallup ASCAP

You're not quite as independent
As you pretend to be
I know if I ignore you
You'll soon come running back to me
There's not a lot of things you need
I can count them on one hand
So I let you think you're in control
And smile when you demand

CHORUS:
I need some attention
And, I want it right away
Gimme some affection
Whose house is this anyway?

I lie quietly at night
Trying so hard not to move
I really want a drink of water
But I know exactly what you'll do
If I wake you up
I know you'll want to play
And I'll end up half asleep at work
Just like yesterday....

LIFT:
You made it clear (spoken)

CHORUS: Repeat

Your favorite place to sleep
Is right on top of me
Or at least with some body part
Draped across my knee
But as I lie here thinking
I realize suddenly
That you and my husband
Are alike apparently

BRIDGE:
But you know I love you both
With all your quirks
Our love still works
You're both so demanding
But I understand
Why I love both my cat and my man

LIFT:
You both insist:

CHORUS:
I need some attention
And, I want it right away
Gimme some affection
Whose house is this anyway?
Did I forget to mention
I need some attention?

TAG:
Now, now, meow, meow
