If You Wanna Be Adored

[Verse 1]
Sure, I think it's sweet
You're waiting up for me
I know you're gonna call
When I'm getting home
Such a sure thing
Never leave me wondering
It's nice to hold the cards, yeah
I suppose

[Pre-Chorus]
I miss the adrenaline spikes
Where you don't sleep or eat
Guessing what's on your mind
I know, I'm well aware it's the worst trait of mine
If I don't call you back
Just take my advice

[Chorus]
If you wanna be adored
Baby, make me feel ignored
Give me less and less
It'll make me want you more
If you wanna be, oh
If you wanna be adored
Ah oh ah oh
Ah hooo ahhh

[Verse 2]
When you get that sinking feeling
Thinking, "God, I need him"
He's perfect and unreachable as Jesus
And the second there's a shift
I'll need another fix
Forever caught up on what could've been

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, there it is
The adrenaline spike
Where you don't sleep or eat
Guessing what's on your mind
I know, I'm well aware it's the worst trait of mine
Before you call me back
Take your sweet time

[Chorus]
If you wanna be adored
Baby, make me feel ignored
Give me less and less
It'll make me want you more
If you wanna be, oh
If you wanna be

[Post-Chorus]
So out of reach
Up on my tippy toes
It's hot to me
When you're untouchable
And hard to read
I'll win you over
And then suddenly
I won't need the closure, oh

[Outro]
Oh, oh
Ah hooo ahh
Ahh oh ah oh
Ah hooo ahh
Ahh oh ah oh
Ah hooo ahh
Ahh oh ah oh
Ah hooo ahh
