Attention

The Waifs

I was thinking about something else I must admit

I didn't hear a word that you said

Remember to remind me not to forget

To pay more attention now, attention now



When you talk to me you can expect it

To go into one ear and out of the next

Ask me a question about something you said

All I remember's what's stuck in my head



You say that I shouldn't be so

Vague, inattentive, a law to myself

I guess that I live in a world of my own

And all that I know now is all that I've known



Sometimes life is like Russian roulette

It's a wonder that I'm still around

Twenty-four years I'm the first to admit

I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' 'bout it



All of our lives we're alone

Though we may have someone to call our own

I could be right but I'm probably wrong

I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' 'bout it

I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' 'bout it

I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' 'bout it
