Hey, it’s me, I have something to say:

Have I got your attention?

Do I make any sense?

How do you get back,

all the time that you’ve spent?

*

Wasted- running around,

worried about what to wear.

Who’s gonna be there?

What is up with my hair?

Mama said not to go there.

Daddy said he’s no good.

Grandma said, say your prayers child,

smile, be polite, don’t be rude.

*

I’m so worried about your life,

I pay no attention to mine.

Try to make sure that you’re happy,

give you my attention and time.

Coddle and stroke your weak ego,

put my feelings aside.

Compliment you with echo's.
