Absence of Affection

You got your hands down under the table

You got your head right up in the clouds

You take your best shot when you're able

But your world don't spin right now

It's high time you found a lover

It's high time you made a friend

The world won't keep you together, babe

And your heart won't see no end

I say

And if everybody wants you

Tell me why are you so alone

In the absence of affection

We'll take anything and call it love

In the absence of affection

We'll take anything and call it love

You got your flash friends waiting to meet you

They're stuck like butterflies up on the wall

And in the night life no one can beat you

Ooh, you look so pretty it's a pity just to touch you

But you never know when it's gonna fall

You never know when it's gonna fall

So you fake it until you make it

And beat your head against that wall

And if everybody wants you

Tell me why are you so alone

In the absence of affection

We'll take anything and call it love

In the absence of affection

We'll take anything and call it love

And if everybody wants you

Tell me why are you so alone

In the absence of affection

We'll take anything and call it love

And if everybody wants you

Tell me why are you so alone

In the absence of affection

We'll take anything and call it love

We'll take anything and call it love
