Affection

I always wonder where you are
I'm right beside you, you're so far away
Moments you're not facing me
Moments you're not chasing me
I don't believe in good good-byes
'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 wrapped your tears
I've always been such a sucker for sweets

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 talk to you about affection
I need affection

Somewhere along is when I died
On, the banks of some canal
Yeah, the river bed of tears I tried to ride
Even fools will believe in lies
And if every word you said were true
You'd be my god and I'd just pray to you 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 unglued
Affection, I need affection

Why won't you dance with me
[Covered in gas you couldn't catch fire]
There's no more romance with me
[I know there's someone else burning in your eyes]
You don't think I see you, but I see right through you

Affection
[Affection]
All I want, someone's affection
[Affection]
All I need to, was affection
What you do
[What you do]
What you do
[What you do]
Where'd you go
Affection
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And don't think I see you
I see right through you
You don't think I see you
But I do
