Affection - The Lost Boys

Affection Lyrics

Trash and vaudeville
Tight dresses and painted faces
It's time to free the lions
From the circus cagesJaded baby
Come whisper in my ear
Better come closer 'cause
The music is loud hereI'm the monkey that you've always been afraid of
I'm the spirit that haunts your dreams
Deep inside
Don't you have a little bit of sympathyDon't you want to
Give me some affection
Why is it so hardDon't you get tired
Same smilin' faces
Don't you get a little bit lonely
Hiding in crowded placesDon't trust the stranger
You should know better
But this heart of darkness
Can be your shelterI ain't rich enough I really don't belong here

I don't want to meet your mommy and daddy
I ain't good lookin' but you get used to it like I didDon't you want to
Give me some affection
Why is it so hard
