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 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 you're teeth
But 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
It's what you don't do makes me
I have to talk to you about affection
I need affection
Somewhere alone is when I die
On the banks of some canal, yeah
The river bitter tears I try to hide
And even fools will believe in lies
And if every word
You ever said were true
You be my guide
And I 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
It's what you don't do makes a man
Come on you, you know affection
I need affection
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
All I want is some affection
All I need is some affection
Affection, 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
