She's a very affectionate girl That's all she knows how to be She loves beyond all reason And I hold her like a thief With a vengeance She embraces me And tonight vengeance is mine But I swear she is no plaything She is precious in God's sight She's a very affectionate girl The way she holds my hand Like she can feel every drop of water And every grain of sand And she just wants me to lead her And she doesn't care how far She'd buy any line I'd feed her Like it was written in the stars She's a very affectionate girl She's a very affectionate girl When her fingers touch my lips And she tells me not to worry To consider this a gift It's beyond a point of honor It is more than I should take For it was not the law of averages That made her heart that way She's a very affectionate girl She's a very affectionate girl And she takes me by surprise In this age of broken promises And so many poisoned lives Where people keep their distance And keep their hands to themselves She says she only wants to kiss me And that is something she does well She's a very affectionate girl
