Addicted To Attention
Honestly if i'm being honest to me I am addicted to attention
addicted to the head turns
the hey ma's
can I get your numbers?
Addicted to being called pretty
Addicted to the latest and most eye catching things
My routine surrounds around being noticed
From the things I say to what I do
I don't even think it's an act anymore
It's just what I do
So for me it's hard to accept some new faces
tryna take my attention
making me feel less than them
Confidence is a wonderful thing
but it could also mean my downfall
Jealousy might rear it's ugly head
I need to stay on top or i'm nothing
I don't know how I got this way
Maybe a long time of feeling ugly
Now I need validation
Cause now i'm beautiful
I want to look in all the people's faces and laugh
cause I turned out good
cause now I get attention
and I like it
But attention is the poison that will slowly kill me
Cause i'm addicted
