I Need Attention Bad Lyrics

Well I took you to the station to leave on your vacation
But ever since the day I've been said
The days and nights are lonely kep thinkin' of you only I need attention bad
It's your lovin' that I'm a missin' I need a little kissin'
But just to hold you tight would make me glad
I need my arms about you I can't live without you I need attention bad

Now there's lots of gals I dance with plenty to romance with
But none can match the love that I've had
I need a little pettin' lots more than I'm gettin' I need attention bad
I never thought your leavin' cause me this much grievin'
Your gone away has almost drove me mad
So babay quit your funnin' and come on home a runnin' I need attention bad

Now there's lots of gals I dance with plenty to romance with
But none can match the love that I've had
Lord I need a little pettin' lots more than I'm gettin' I need attention bad
I'm not just jokin' I need attention bad

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
