Starving For Attention

These girls are cut out from magazines
wearing pride on fashionable sleeves
corner boys with swerving glances
settle into leg-locked trances
those poor bastards never stand a chance

and I know you would like to leave me shaking
from all the things that you're insinuating
don't you say "now look at what you've made me"
'cause I don't give a damn about you now

you once said that beauty lies in truth
mother's curves and ignorance of youth
lonely now with this disease your
desperation aims to please while
starving for attention on your knees

and I know you would like to leave me shaking
from all the things that you're insinuating
don't you say "now look at what you've made me"
'cause I don't give a damn about you now

wait,
I think you're better off just gettin'
just gettin' some sleep
'cause you've been drinkin' like you need it again

and, hey,
you know you were beautiful when you were
when you were like me
yeah, but how you're slipping at the start of the end

and I know you would like to leave me shaking
from all the things that you're insinuating
and don't you say "now look at what you've made me"
'cause I don't give a damn about you
I don't give a damn about you now
