Affection Songtext
von The All‐American Rejects

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 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 you′re 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
It′s what you don't do makes me
I have to talk to you about affection
I need affection


Somewhere alone is when I die
On the banks of some canal, yeah
The river bitter tears I try to hide
And even fools will believe in lies

And if every word
You ever said were true
You be my guide
And I 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
It′s what you don't do makes a man
Come on you, you know affection
I need affection

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
All I want is some affection
All I need is some affection
Affection, 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
