Affection

I always wonder where you are

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

Moments you're not friends with me

Are moments you're not chasing me

I don't believe in good goodbyes (goodbye)

'cause even when the roses die

There's still some thorns left in your side

It's like a funeral for the bride (for the bride)

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

But I've always been such a sucker for sweets

I need affection (oh, oh, oh, oh)

All I want right now is affection (oh, oh, oh, oh)

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 (oh, oh, oh, oh)

I need affection

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Somewhere alone is when I die (when I die)

On the banks of some canal, yeah, the river bed, the

tears I tried to hide

Even fools will believe in lies (believe in lies)

And if every word you ever said were true

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

For affection (oh, oh, oh, oh)

All I want right now is affection (oh, oh, oh, oh)

I don't mean to make a confession

Girl, it's not what you do,

What you don't do makes a man come unglued of affection

(oh, oh, oh, oh)

I need affection

Ah, why won't you dance with me

There's no more romance with me

You don't think I see you

But I see right through you, baby

Whoa, affection (affection)

All I wanted was affection (affection)

All I needed was affection

What'd you do (what'd you do)

What'd you do (what'd you)

What'd you do

Affection

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You don't think I see you

I see right through you

You don't think I see you

But I do
