Affection

Trust me, it always turns out the same

Affection has always been a little game

Forgive me, it's one I've never understood

Love, to me, has been as bad as good

I've been drownin' in the water

That you're walkin' on

And fallin' through the air

Whilst you float up

Hey ya, hey ya

I'll kiss your eyes, I'll wash your skin

Hey ya, hey ya

Forget myself and let you in

Hey ya, hey ya

'Cause all I want is

That cold affliction

Your affection, affection

Believe me, it happens all the time

Affection can be as cruel as it is kind

My lover, won't you give me a sign?

Love can be as deaf as it is blind

I've been drownin' in the water

That you're walkin' on

Been floatin' through the air

Whilst you float up

Hey ya, hey ya

I'll kiss your eyes, I'll wash your skin

Hey ya, hey ya

Forget myself and let you in

Hey ya, hey ya

'Cause all I want is that cold affliction

Your affection

I fall down into sleep

Into a fevered dream

Where I barely know what is goin' on

Except I know that I want ya

And I know that I need ya

And I'll tell you I love you again

And again and again and again

Hey ya, hey ya

I'll kiss your eyes, I'll wash your skin

Hey ya, hey ya

Forget myself and let you in

Hey ya, hey ya

'Cause all I want is that cold affliction

Your affection

Affection
