[Verse 1]
Everybody's telling everybody off
It's the last thing I wanna hear
You've been killing me for days and days it seems
But the truth is the thing I fear

[Pre-Chorus]
I just don't understand
Why my love isn't good enough
I just don't understand
Why my love isn't good enough for you

[Chorus]
I want you to show me
Love and affection, love and affection
Easing the tension with love, love and affection

[Verse 2]
Everybody's showing everybody up
It's a competition, me and you
I stood outside your doorway watching you ignore me
I still think that your games are cute

[Pre-Chorus]
I just don't understand
Why my love isn't good enough
I just don't understand
Why my love isn't good enough
[Chorus]
Love and affection, love and affection
Easing the tension with love, love and affection

Put yourself in my shoes
Put yourself in my shoes

[Bridge]
I don't know what you've been told
The rich get rich, the poor grow old
When everybody's blood runs cold
It's time for something real, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Love and affection, love and affection
Easing the tension with love, love and affection
Love and affection, love and affection
Easing the tension with love, love and affection

I just don't understand
Why my blood is
I just don't understand
Why my love is not
