[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
