Trying To Do Something To Get Your Attention

Trying To Do Something To Get Your Attention

(album: Mark Twang - 1976)

Maybe I should give you some of the royalties to this song
'Cause you sure did inspire me to write
Maybe I should put your name in the lyrics somewhere
'Cause you sure did cause me to write it

You know, as much of a lift
As love songs are
They sure are hard to write
I'm trying to do something

To get your attention

Maybe I should put your picture on the front of this song
'Cause you sure did cause me to write it
Or tell them how I met you in the coda of the song
'Cause you sure did cause me to write it

You know, as much of a lift
As love songs are
They sure are hard to write
I'm trying to do something

Just stand up here and hold my overcoat like this and... [laughs]

To get your attention

And I tried real hard not to make this song sound like some other song that I might have written before
And if I did, that's because it's my style and style is based on limitations

I tried real hard not to make this song sound like some other song some other singer-songwriter might have written before
And If I did, that's 'cause it's music
And music's based on repetition

Now maybe if you learn the words to this
You're very own song
A song that you caused to be written
You sing it out for somebody else that you love
'Cause you sure did cause it to be written

You know, as much of a lift
As love songs are
They sure are hard to write
I'm trying to do something

To get your attention
