Trying to Do Something to Get Your Attention

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 tryin’ to do something

[Breathing Solo]

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 tryin’ to do something -

[Muttering]
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

[Guitar Solo]

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 tryin’ to do something
