Baby You Have Got My Attention

how'd you do it? you turned my head
the rest had given me up for dead
maybe they didn't have what it takes
giving up too soon was a big mistake
baby, you've got my attention

how'd you make my heartbeat stop?
fillin' my cup to the very top
your boots 'n bike and sweet, sweet kiss
I didn't know it could be like this
baby, you've got my attention

how'd you know I'd fall for you?
that look you give that sees right through
all the walls and doors I've shut
you the fresh breeze that opens them up
baby, you've got my attention
