I just want some affection |
|
I just want some affection |
|
I don't want no hoochie-coochie mama |
|
No back door woman |
|
No queen street sex thing |
|
I want a tiger on bended knees |
|
With all the kindness of the japanese |
|
I just want some affection |
|
Wish I heard voices |
|
Wish I was a telephone |

This very special girl |

And she works in a library yeah |

Standing there, behind the counter |

Willing to help |

With all the problems |
|
That I encounter |
|
Helps me find Hemingway |
|
Helps me find Genet |
|
Helps me find Brecht |
|
Helps me find Chandler |
|
Helps me find James Joyce |
|
She always makes the right choice |
|
She's no queen |
|
She's no angel |
|
Just a peasant from the village |
|
She's my god, she's my god |
|
She's my G.O.D., she's my god, yeah, yeah, |

Like a nun in a church does... |
|
Like a nun in a church does... |
|
She stands there all alone... |
|
'cos she gives me something that |
|
I just can't get now anywhere else |
|
'cos the girls that I see walking around |
|
Yeah the ones I see walking on the street |
|
Are so damn damn damn damn damn damn cold |
|
'cos they must have Eskimo blood in their veins |
|
And the one that I want |

I can't see anywhere |
