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

Affection
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, 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
