I always wonder where you are I'm right beside you, you're so far away The moments you're not facing me The 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 your 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, what you don't do Makes me have to talk to you about affection I need affection Somewhere along was when I died On the banks of some canal, yeah The river of bitter tears I've tried to wipe But 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 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 out with no affection I need affection Why won't you dance with me? Cause it ain't candy you can't buy Girl there's no more romance with me And I know that's not why I play in your eyes You don't think I see you But I see right through you, baby Yeah Oh, 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 do? Affection Yeah, yeah You don't think I see you I see right through you You don't think I see you But I do
