<b>Affection</b> by <i>New Monkees</i><br />

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 sceam.

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

I'm just a little bored

I'm tired of being lonely

I'm tired of being ignored

I need some affection

And I need it from you

Has anybody ever told you

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

Drove out on the highway

Put his foot on the floor

Never gone a secred though

Just couldn't take that life anymore

CHORUS

A person that I read about

Or saw him on TV

They were talking him to prison

You know it could be you or me

He was trying to get attention

And he did something very bad

He was trying to take

Something everybody should already have

Repeat chorus
