The All-american Rejects - Affection lyrics

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 good-byes '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 s**er 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 alone is when I died On the banks of some can*l Yeah the river bed of tears I tried to ride And 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 unglued Oh, affection, I need affection Why won't you dance with me? (Covered in gas you couldn't catch fire) There's no more romance with me (I know there's someone else burning in your eyes) You don't think I see you But I see right through you, baby Whoa, affection All I wanted was affection All I needed was affection What you do (what you do) What you do (what you do) Where'd you go? Affection Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And don't think I see you I see right through you You don't think I see you But I do
