Love and Affection Lyrics

Everybody's tellin' 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
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
I want you to show me

Love and affection
Love and affection
Easing the tension
With love and affection

Everybody's showin' 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
I just don't understand
Why my love isn't good enough
I just don't understand
Why my love isn't good enough

Put yourself in my shoes

Put yourself in my shoes
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

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
