You've got your mother and your brother
Every other undercover
Tellin' you what to say (say)
You think I'm stupid
But the truth is
That it's cupid, baby
Lovin' you has made me this way
So before you point your finger
Get your hands off of my trigger
Oh yeah
You need to know this situation's getting old
And now the more you talk
The less I can take, oh

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why are you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away

I waited here for you
Like a kid waiting after school
So tell me how come you never showed (showed)?
I gave you everything
And never asked for anything
And look at me
I'm all alone (alone)
So, before you start defendin'
Baby, stop all your pretendin'
I know you know I know
So what's the point in being slow
Let's get the show on the road today
Hey

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why are you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away

I wanna love
I want a fire
To feel the burn
My desires
I wanna man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you gonna fight for me?
Die for me?
Live and breathe for me?
Do you care for me?
'Cause if you don't then just leave

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why are you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away

If you don't have the answer
Walk away
Just walk (walk) away
(Just walk away)
Then just leave
Yeah yeah
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

"Just finished reading Ernie Pyle's 1943 book, "Your War" about the North African campaign he covered as a correspondent. (He mentions a lot of New Yorkers by address in the homespun tale, fyi) Surprisingly, he was very complimentary of French forces...those who weren't shooting at the Allies anyway....A very good read. Ernie Pyle survived the European war and was covering the Pacific story when he was killed by a Japanese machine gunner. You can see a picture of Ernie laying dead by a road on some Pacific island by Googling same. All DB staff should know about Ernie Pyle."


wow, i read this post and had to think long and hard if i didn't write it and just forget for some reason. I just read Your War too...he mentions a barber who lived five blocks north of me (50 years ago...20 years before I was born). even though this guy was defintiely a simpleton, and his books are definitely not meant to be thought provoking or anythihng, they do have historical value, and make good reads.

Brave Men was pretty good too. I go to the Bloomingdale branch, and the Pyle books are all in the little "war" section they have towards the fiction wall.
