“ATTENTION” is the first song in Joji’s debut album BALLADS 1. In the song, Joji sings about how the girl he likes doesn’t give him the attention he deserves compared to the boys that she goes after, a common theme within the album in which he asks for commitment and chances.
ATTENTION Lyrics
[Chorus]
Girl, would it kill you just to throw a little bit of attention?
If I hurt you, I'm afraid God's gonna teach me a lesson
[Pre-Chorus]
Now would you hate me if I said goodbye
So quick you could eat my dust?
Now would you hate me if I ran like hell
In the wind from dawn 'til dusk?
[Chorus]
When you cry, you waste your time
Over boys you never liked
Can you not be so obvious?
So keep it light
So keep it light, no
[Verse]
I thought I'd vocalize my troubles, but nobody will listen
I know I'm cryptic and I'm weird, that shit comes off as indifferent
I don't wanna die so young
Got so much to do
I don't smile for the camera
Only smile for you
Smile for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Now would you hate me if I said goodbye
So quick you could eat my dust?
Now would you hate me if I ran like hell
In the wind from dawn 'til dusk?
[Chorus]
When you cry, you waste your time
Over boys you never liked
Can you not?
