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
