Lyrics of Attention by Charlie Puth

intro

Whoa, mm

verse

You′ve been running 'round, running ′round, running 'round

Throwin' that dirt all on my name

′Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I′d call you up

You've been going ′round, going 'round, going ′round every party in L.A.

'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I′d be at one

Oh (oh)

pre-chorus

I know that dress is karma, perfume regret

You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine, ooh

And now I'm all up on ya, what′d you expect?

But you′re not coming home with me tonight

chorus

You just want attention, you don't want my heart

Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new

Yeah, you just want attention, I knew from the start

You′re just making sure I'm never getting over you, oh

verse

You′ve been running 'round, running ′round, running 'round

Throwin' that dirt all on my name

′Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I′d call you up

Baby, now that we're, now that we′re, now that we're

Right here, standing face to face

You already know, ′ready know, 'ready know that you won

Oh

pre-chorus

I know that dress is karma (dress is karma), perfume regret (yeah)

You got me thinking ′bout when you were mine

(You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine)

And now I'm all up on you (all up on you), what′d you expect? (Oh, baby)

But you′re not coming home with me tonight (oh, no)

chorus

You just want attention, you don't want my heart

Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new (′one new)

Yeah, you just want attention (oh), I knew from the start (the start)

You're just making sure I′m never getting over you (oh, you), oh

What are you doing to me? What are you doing, love?

(What are you doing?)

What are you doing to me? What are you doing, love?

What are you doing to me? What are you doing, love?

pre-chorus

I know that dress is karma, perfume regret

You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine

And now I′m all up on you, what'd you expect?

But you're not coming home with me tonight

chorus

You just want attention, you don′t want my heart

Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new

Yeah, you just want attention, I knew from the start

You′re just making sure I'm never getting over you (over you)

What are you doing, to me? (Hey) what are you doing, love?

(What are you doing, love?)

What are you doing to me? What are you doing, love?

outro

Yeah, you just want attention (what are you doing to me?)
