I Want More Than That

What I am thinking
is that I am tired of the one night stands
And I want something more

And yes, I want attention
And you gave me that
And now I want more than that

I do not need attention
When it means nothing
So now when I have thought of you

I have thought that I wanted more
Than bland sex
And I was hoping you could give that to me
the something more
can you give me that

I have wanted to feel like
Someone could give me attention
And maybe I am barking up the wrong tree

Because I do not know
Who can do that for me
And I am hoping that you can be that someone
