Attention
Doja Cat Lyrics

Baby, if you like it, just reach out and pet it
You don't have to be afraid to interact with me, I'm not a threat.

This one doesn't bite, it doesn't get aggressive
I'm not going to hurt you or cause any problems. I am easy to handle.

Show you how to touch it, hold it like it's precious
I value your attention and I want you to handle me with care.

It don't need your lovin', it just needs attention
I don't require your affection, but I crave your attention and admiration.

(Love me) It needs, it seeks affection
I desire love and affection, but I'm willing to settle for attention at the moment.

(So sweet) Hungry, it fiends attention
I have a sweet exterior, but I am starving for attention and crave it constantly.

(Hungry) It needs, it seeks affection
I am constantly searching for affection and attention to fill a void within myself.

(Baby) Hungry, it fiends (Yeah, yeah)
I am young and crave attention and affection from others to feel validated and fulfilled.

Look at me, look at me, you lookin'?
I am seeking your attention and asking you to acknowledge my presence.

My taste good, but I just had to redirect my cookin'
I may have made mistakes in the past but I'm trying to change and improve myself.

I coulda been an opener, I redirect the bookin'
I have taken control of my career and made decisions that have put me in a position of power.

I readed all the comments sayin', D, I'm really shooketh'
I have read all the harsh comments and criticism directed towards me and it has affected me.

"D, you need to see a therapist, is you lookin'?"
People have suggested that I seek therapy to deal with my personal issues and insecurities.

Yes, the one I got, they really are the best
I have sought professional help from a therapist and it has been beneficial for me.

Now I feel like I can see you bitches is depressed
Through therapy, I have gained perspective and insight into the negative behavior and attitudes of others.

I am not afraid to finally say shit with my chest
I am no longer afraid to speak my mind boldly and confidently.

Lost a lil' weight, but I ain't never lost a tushy
I may have lost weight, but I still have my curves and maintain my confidence.

Lookin' good, but now my bald head match my
I have intentionally shaved my head and embrace my new look.

Lookin' good, but now they all sayin' that I'm ugly
Despite my confidence, I still face criticism and negative comments about my appearance.

Boo-hoo, my nigga, I ain't sad you won't fuck me
I am not upset with those who do not find me attractive or want to pursue a romantic or sexual relationship.

I'm sad that you really thought your ass was above me
I am disappointed by those who have treated me poorly or looked down on me in the past.

You're lucky 'cause I just paid your bill with a reply
I have responded to negative comments and criticism with a clever and effective comeback.

I just made your money pile knee-high
Through my success and fame, I have surpassed those who have doubted or criticized me in the past.

I just made your stats peak, now you got a blue check
My influence and fame have helped to boost the popularity and success of others.

Now you can afford to go and reinstall a new wig
In response to my success, others can now afford to improve and enhance their appearance.

Now you can afford to not be lousy, go and do shit
Through my influence and success, others are inspired to improve themselves and pursue their goals.

Talk your shit about me, I can easily disprove it, it's stupid
I am confident in myself and my abilities, and can easily refute any negative comments or criticism directed towards me.

You follow me, but you don't really care about the music
Many fans or followers may only be interested in me for my appearance or fame, rather than my music or talent.

Vulnerability earned me a lot of bacon
By being open and vulnerable in my music and personal life, I have gained a lot of success.

I put a thong all in my ass and taught you how to shake it
Through my music and performances, I have influenced and taught others how to embrace their bodies and sexuality.

I paid all my respect to those who taught me how to make it
I acknowledge and appreciate those who have helped me to achieve my success and career.

And now I reap the benefits with no confrontation
Through hard work and perseverance, I have achieved success without engaging in conflict or drama.

Y'all fall into beef, but that's another conversation
I choose to avoid drama or negativity, and would rather focus on my own success and growth.

I'm sorry, but we all find it really entertainin'
Though drama and conflict may be negative, they can also be entertaining for observers and fans.

'Cause we all wanna see them slip and fall right on their faces
Many people enjoy seeing others fail or experience struggles, particularly those in the public eye.

Not be in it, but ain't the bad press good?
While negative press can be harmful, it can also be seen as good publicity in some cases.

The disrespect's real, how this Patek look?
Though I experience disrespect and negative comments, I remain confident and flaunt my wealth and success.

Pull out the checkbook, now why yo neck crook?
I am successful and wealthy enough to write a large check, and question why others may be looking down or failing in comparison.

I never learn to 'superstar' from a textbook
My talent and success cannot be taught or learned from a book or manual, but rather come from within.

Talkin' 'bout 'she fallin' off, why she get booked?'
Despite my success, I still face criticism and doubt from others who question why I continue to receive bookings or opportunities.

Man, I been humbled, I'm tired of all the deprecation
Though confident, I also acknowledge my faults and humbly work towards self-improvement and growth.

Just let me flex, bruh, just let me pop shit
I am proud of my success and talent, and want to flaunt and celebrate it.

'Why she think she Nicki M? She think she hot shit'
I may receive comparisons to other successful female artists like Nicki Minaj, but I remain confident and unbothered by such criticism.

Huh, I never gave a F, go stir the pot, bitch
I am unafraid and unbothered by negativity or criticism, and encourage those who want to cause drama to do so elsewhere.

I got y'all head all in the dirt just like an ostrich
My success and confidence may intimidate or frustrate others to the point where they feel defeated or inferior.

Of course you bitches comparin' Doja to who the hottest
As a successful and popular female artist, I will naturally be compared to others in the industry to determine who is the most popular or successful.

Okay, cute
This is a dismissive and sarcastic response to negativity or criticism, indicating that I'm unfazed by it.
