Lyrics of Attention

Did you think that you can get me, boy? (no)
Think again, babe.
Thought you could buy me for a drink or two,
But I’m not that easy

You saw me chattin’ with my girls at bar (true)
We’re all pretty
You told me I look like a movie star,
But I’m not naive

So… I’m gonna make you, make you fall,
down do-do-down down on your knees.
I’m gonna make you,
make you fall down to get all…

Attention, a little care
Then you can have a love love love love, some love
Attention, a little care,
And you can have lots of love

Do you dream abourt me in your bed?
Keep on dreamin’
You thought I’d give it to you – all I have (wait)
Not the first night

You said that it might be the love at first sight (babe)
Hold your horses
You told me you’re the best I’ll ever have,
But I just don’t believe

I’m not gonna ask you buy me diamonds,
no no no no,
Just behave yourself, treat me very well,
give me some:

Attention, a little care
Then you can have a love love love love, some love
Attention, a little care,
And you can have lots of love.
Alors ! Alors !
Tu croyais que tu pouvais m'avoir, garçon ? (non ) Tu t'es gourré bébé
Tu croyais que tu pourrais m'acheter avec un verre ou deux, mais je ne suis pas si facile

Tu m'as vue chatter avec des filles au bar ( vrai ) on est toutes jolies
Tu m'as dit que je ressemble à une star de ciné, mais je ne suis pas naïve

Alors ...

Je vais te faire tomber, tomber tomber tomber sur tes genoux
Je vais te faire, te faire tomber pour vous avoir tous ...

De l’attention, un peu de soin pour moi
Alors t'auras de l'amour de l'amour l'amour l'amour, un peu d'amour
De l’attention, un peu de soin pour moi
Et t'auras beaucoup d'amour

Tu rêves de moi dans ton lit ? Continue à rêver
Tu pensais que je te l’avais donné – tout ce que j’ai (attends) Pas la premiere nuit
Tu disais que ça peut-être le coup de foudre des le début (bébé) Retiens tes chevaux
Tu m’as dis que tu es le meilleur de ceux que j’ai jamais eu Mais je n’ai juste pas crue

Alors…
Je vais te faire tomber, tomber tomber tomber sur tes genoux
Je vais te faire, te faire tomber pour vous avoir tous ...

Je ne vais pas te demander de m’acheter des diamants, non non non,
Juste sois toi même, traite moi bien, do-o-o-one moi un peu de:
