Sweet Affection

Won't someone hold me
Take my roses and my thorns?
My late nights by TV screens
Need a little warmth
Tired of searching
For someone to love me blind
It's just hand in hands in restaurants
No luck by candlelight

So close but always alone

Well, maybe I'm not good enough
Sweet affection, call my bluff
Had it once, let it go
Sweet affection, call me yours
Give this heart a little love
Tired of waking up alone
Sweet affection, take me home
Home
Take me home

Wish someone told me
You see double when they're gone
Outside just looking in
On lovers safe from harm
Tired of hurting
Oh, I'm barely back in time
Dark storms, unsettled thoughts
On my book come by design

I get so close, but always alone

Well, maybe I'm not good enough
Sweet affection, call my bluff
Had it once, let it go
Sweet affection, call me yours
Give this heart a little love
Tired of waking up alone
Sweet affection, take me home
Home
(Home, home)

Take me home
