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 --- Absence Of Affection - Rob Thomas
