[Intro]
Tell me, tell me what you're sayin'
I want love (Yeah), affection, love and affection (Oh, yeah)
Tell me, tell me what you're sayin'
I want love, I want love and affection

[Verse 1]
Feel like I gave it my all, I don't know who else to call
I don't know who else to trust, there's already too many involved
I've even lowered my standards, lost a hold of my manners
Ain't talked to God in a while now, don't know how I'll manage
I've got my reasons to go, but still I can't leave you alone
My mama told me move on from you
But for you, I am weak in the bones
I can't move, can't breathe, can't lose, can't leave
It ain't you, it ain't me

[Pre-Chorus]
It don't make sense to pass around the fault
When it comes to love, sometimes we fall
And sometimes what you love don't love you back
But right now I'm in love, I ain't tryna hear that, no

[Chorus]
I could use some love and affection
I want you, I want you
I could use some love and affection
I want you, I want you
[Verse 2]
I asked the Lord for a sign (Please), don't want to quit, is it time? (No)
I'll be dead before I sell my soul (Never), feel like I'm losin' my mind
I know times get hard, it always hurts my heart
Wish I could brace myself, see the end from the start
I appreciate the journey, I just hope you don't burn me
Hope mama ain't right, or you might see my death early
This is all I've got, give me more than one shot
You put me here in this spot

[Pre-Chorus]
It don't make sense to pass around the fault
When it comes to love, sometimes we fall
But sometimes what you love don't love you back
But right now I'm in love, I ain't really tryna hear none of that

[Chorus]
I could use some love and affection
I want you, I want you
I could use some love and affection
I want you, I want you

[Outro]
Say I want, I want, if you want it, too
Say I want (I want your love and affection)
Say, I want, I want, if you want love
