  • I like the sunshine
    Bouncing off your mirror shades
    Well I love that you love loving me
    Can't you see?
    I need a little more of your embrace
    But you start to panic
    You can't stand still
    You getting a message
    Talk about a buzz kill

    I, I, I
    I want some attention
    I want to put you centre stage
    I, I, I
    Don't want competition
    So put your phone away
    Let's roller skate

    I've got your picture
    Swimming 'round inside my head
    While all the kids snapping pics
    They can click on what they missed
    I kinda like real life instead
    Well, how about a little of that human touch?
    Old school contact
    Would it be asking too much?

    I, I, I
    I want some attention
    I want to put you centre stage
    I, I, I
    Don't want competition
    I want a little face to face
    I, I, I
    I ain't in no hurry
    But baby I don't like to wait
    I, I, I
    I want to be your distraction
    So put your phone away
    Let's roller skate

    I, I, I, roller skaters, let's go!

    I, I, I
    I want some attention
    I want to put you centre stage
    I, I, I
    Don't want competition
    I want a little face to face
    I, I, I
    I ain't in no hurry
    But baby I don't like to wait
    I, I, I
    I want to be your distraction
    So put your phone away
