[Chorus 1]
Everybody needs attention
Everybody wants to smile
Everybody needs a mention
Attention, attention, for a while

[Verse 1]
Come on, baby, give it all you've got
Get into the power of the plot
You know we'll only get it if we try
Give me your attention for a while

Feel it, feel it when you tell me
You've got time to give me
Time can run away

See it, see it in the children
People of tomorrow
Living for today

Your love is fine
Your love can be mine

Come on, baby, give it all you've got
Get into the power of the plot
You know we'll only get it if we try
Give it your attention for a while

[Chorus 1]

[Outro]
Doo doo doo doo[x13]

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
