—Ernest Tubb
Well I took you to the station to leave on your vacation
But ever since the day I've been sad
The days and nights are lonely, keep thinkin' of you only
I need attention bad
It's your lovin' that I'm a missin' – I need a little kissin'
But just to hold you tight would make me glad
I need my arms about you, I can't live without you
I need attention bad
Now there's lots of gals I dance with, plenty to romance with
But none can match the love that I've had
I need a little pettin' – lots more than I'm gettin'
I need attention bad
I never thought your leavin' would cause me this much grievin'
Your goin' away has almost drove me mad
So baby quit your funnin' and come on home a runnin'
I need attention bad
