According to Malcolm as to why (the demo) was such a short song:
I made it in like 10 minutes and I was like “I didn’t put any effort into this” and “like, I don’t know. It was like a demo to me.”
It eventually got added onto, making it as a full track on the deluxe.
[Chorus]
Oh, turn me on
I just want you to know, I couldn't go without you
'Cause I need your attention all the time
And it's fine as long as I have your eyes on me
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse]
Waiting here alone
No one to call home
But I, I think we'd make a pair if you'd see me at all
My heart is pumping, I'm made for loving
[Pre-Chorus]
Your head is in the clouds, my room is in the back
I need attention now, come here and just a-take it all
You can bite my neck just a little too hard
Come lay your eyes on me
Pretty, pretty, pretty please
[Chorus]
Oh, turn me on
I just want you to know, I couldn't go without you
'Cause I need your attention all the time
And it's fine as long as I have your eyes on me
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
Over here, look at me
I'm a man, can't you see?
Over here, baby, please
Just fall in love, in love with me
[Chorus]
Oh, turn me on
I just want you to know, I couldn't go without you
'Cause I need your attention all the time
And it's fine as long as I have your eyes on me
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
