ATTENTION

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.

Lyrics:

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

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?

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, nah

I thought I’d vocalise my troubles, but nobody would 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 :)

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?

When you cry, you waste your time

Over boys you never liked

Can you not
