Affection Lyrics - Singles - New Monkees

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
