I know that you say I get mean when I'm drinking, but
Then again, sometimes I get really sweet, so
What does it mean if I tell you to go fuck yourself
Or if I say that you're beautiful to me?
It's affection, always
Ooh, you gonna see it someday
My attention for you
Even if it's not what you need
Sometimes we talk all night long, we don't shut up
And when it's late we'll say we're still wide awake so
We love to talk about how you'll come up to visit me
And we'll rent a car and we'll drive upstate
It's affection, always
Ooh, you gonna see it someday
My attention's on you
Even if it's not what you need
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
It's affection, always
It's affection, always
Then again, sometimes I get really sweet, so
What does it mean if I tell you to go fuck yourself
Or if I say that you're beautiful to me?
It's affection, always
Ooh, you gonna see it someday
My attention for you
Even if it's not what you need
Sometimes we talk all night long, we don't shut up
And when it's late we'll say we're still wide awake so
We love to talk about how you'll come up to visit me
And we'll rent a car and we'll drive upstate
It's affection, always
Ooh, you gonna see it someday
My attention's on you
Even if it's not what you need
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
It's affection, always
It's affection, always

It reminds me of my most recent * almost* relationship; in fact CAS was perhaps "our" band. He once sent me this song, and it made so much sense to me as the main word to describe what I fell for him back then as "affection".
The beginning of the end was on the night one of us drank too much and said things they shouldn't have. Still, the affection was there and will probably always be. It's a shame, I was constantly thinking of him and could have maybe fallen for him. Just one more of those relationships you will always wonder "what if?"...
I think of you,
I want you too,
I'd fall for you
It's affection always...
It's affection, always
Ooh, you gonna see it someday
My attention's on you
Even if it's not what you need
Anyone trying to sell you this narrative has serious boundary issues, and is focused on their needs, and not on the reality of two people together.
