Lyrics

The girl I used to live with
She had a bad dream
She couldn't put it into words
So she put it in a scream
She crawled out of the window
She stood up on the ledge
She waved at all the people
And then she jumped back from the edge
She said, "I'm not crazy, just a little bored
Tired of being lonely, I'm tired of being ignored
I need some affection and I need it from you
Hasn't anybody ever told you
What a little affection can do?
What a little affection can do?"
The guy I went to school with
He had a wife and a son
A house in the suburbs
And a loaded shotgun
Well, he drove out on the highway
Until his motor went dead
He opened up his jacket
And then he put that shotgun to his head
He said, "I'm not crazy, just a little bored
Tired of being lonely, I'm tired of being ignored
I need some affection and I need it from you
Hasn't anybody ever told you
What a little affection can do?
What a little affection can do?"
Hey!
A person that I read about
Maybe saw him on the TV
They were taking him to prison
You know, it could be you or me
Well, he was trying to get attention
And he did something very bad
Well, he was trying to take
Something everybody should already have
He said, "I'm not crazy, just a little bored
Tired of being lonely, I'm tired of being ignored
I need some affection and I need it from you
Hasn't anybody ever told you
What a little affection can do?
What a little affection can do?
What a little affection can do?
What a little affection can do?"
