Affection

[Verse 1]I always wonder where you are

I'm right beside you, you're so far away

One moment you're not facing me, one moment you're not chasing me

I don't believe in good, goodbyes

'Cause even when the roses die there's still some thorns left in your side

It's like a funeral for the bride

And I know candy girls, yeah they just rot your teeth

But I've always been such a sucker for sweets

[Chorus]I need affection

All I want right now is affection

I don't mean to point your direction

Girl it's not what you do,

what you don't do makes me have to talk to you about affection

I need affection

Mmmhmmhmmhmm

Somewhere alone is when I died

On the banks of some canal, yeah the river bed of tears I tried to hide

Even fools will believe in lies

And if every word you ever said were true



You'd be my God and I'd just pray to you

[Chorus]For affection

All I want right now is affection

I don't mean to make a confession

Girl it's not what you do, what you don't do makes a man come on blue

No affection

I need affection

Why won't you dance with me?

(???)

There's no more romance with me

(I know there's someone else burning your eyes)

You don't think I see you but I see right through you, baby

Woah Affection! (Affection!)

All I wanted was affection (Affection!)

All I needed was affection

What you do? (What you do) What you do? (What, what you do?)

Affection!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. [x3]

You don't think I see you, I see right through you

You don't think I see you, but I do
