Cento of Attention

Cento of Attention

Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
(This time, baby, this time, baby, this time, baby, this time)
There's something happening somewhere
I'll show you in spring, it's a treacherous thing
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
Been there, done that, messed around
There’s certain things that should be left unsaid
We should have each other with cream
We slip through the streets while everyone sleeps
To walk away from something when it’s dead
I shake this world off my shoulders
Come on baby the laugh's on me
