john hartford - trying to do something to get your attention lyrics

Loading...

maybe i should give you some of the royalties to this song
‘cause you sure did inspire me to write
maybe i should put your name in the lyrics somewhere
‘cause you sure did cause me to write it

you know, as much of a lift
as love songs are
they sure are hard to write
i’m tryin’ to do something –

[breathing solo]

– to get your attention

maybe i should put your picture on the front of this song
‘cause you sure did cause me to write it
or tell them how i met you in the coda of the song
‘cause you sure did cause me to write it

you know, as much of a lift
as love songs are
they sure are hard to write
i’m tryin’ to do something –

[muttering] just stand up here and hold my overcoat like this and… [laughs]

– to get your attention

and i tried real hard not to make this song sound like some other song that i might have
written before
and if i did, that’s because it’s my style and style is based on
limitations

i tried real hard not to make this song sound like some other song some other singer-songwriter might have
written before
and if i did, that’s ‘cause it’s music
and music’s based on
repet-tion

[guitar solo]

now maybe if you learn the words to this –
you’re very own song
a song that you caused to be written –
you sing it out for somebody else that you love
‘cause you sure did cause it to be written

you know, as much of a lift
as love songs are
they sure are hard to write
i’m tryin’ to do something –

[mouth sounds solo]

– to get your attention
