Crying For Attention Lyrics

Pre>intro f#m  e	 a (3 times then d)

(d)   a	   e  a
Can you hear me? 
D		 a	  e  a  d
Baby can you hear me? 
A			 e   a
Who do you think I’m talking to? 
D	  a	  e	a  d
Is there anyone else near me? 
F#m
Precious things come in my path
Like new clothes for me to try on
In the end they make me laugh
E
In the beginning they are something to rely on

Chorus
A	 e	   d
I’m not crying for attention baby
A	  e	   d
I’m not crying for attention baby
A	  e	    d	 e
I’m not crying for attention I’m screaming to be heard
D			    a   e	a d
Everybody’s listening but you

(d) 	 a	  e  a
What’s the matter? 
D		   a	   e  a  d
Well there is no need to flatter
A			 e   a
How do I get you to take notice? 
D		   a    e  a  d
Do I have to break and shatter? 
F#mm
When I feel that I am driven
Over the edge where it’s all hidden
I hang my head and hit a table or a chair
E
I know my place I just can’t stay there

It’s your loving example I need to receive

Hey sometimes everybody has to be the centre of attraction
A  e	 a   d    a e	a   d
But I i I i never expect any satisfaction

And I’m not crying I’m not crying I’m not crying

Baby I’m not crying for attention
Don’t even say I am I’m not crying
