I was a fool for playing it cool, I tell ya
You made it clear it wasn't working for you
I couldn't get just a passing glance and you didn't know
So I'm telling you now and I'm taking this chance to let you know
 
I wish you'd notice, notice when I'm not around
I wish you'd notice, notice when I'm not around
So I could show this, show this
New love that I found
I wish you'd notice when I'm not around
 
If I could read your mind to find out what to do, I'd do it
Change up my style all the way to my shoes
Are you looking now?
Situation rising am I breaking the rules will you tell me
If I try to get a little attention from you what do I do
 
To make you notice, notice when I'm not around
This is hopeless, hopeless and bringing me down
I wanna show this, show this, new love that I found
To make you notice, notice when I'm not around
 
I said the trance that you had me in
No longer pulls at my heart like the tide and wind
And now that I'm gone, now I've moved on
You'll no longer hear me singing this song
 
Now you notice, notice when I'm not around
You're so hopeless; hopeless it's bringing you down
I tried to show this, show this, new love that I found
And now you notice, notice when I'm not around
