Love and Affection

G
Stuart McNair

C    Bm    Am    G

She was born in the sign of cancer
When the moon hung low
He could ask her for an answer
But he’s trying not to let her know

That he’s been watching as she dances
He’s been thinking about what to say
He’s been sneaking little glances
And he thought he saw her look his way

Been looking for love in the arms of strangers
There’s no sweetness only greed
Now his heart is in danger
Of asking her for what he needs

Love and affection, uh-huh
Love and affection, it’s alright
Love and affection, uh-huh
Love and affection, it’s alright

The way she moves with her boyd
The way she floats around the place
Her long black hair so lovely
The way it falls around her face

But still her heart stays as calm
As a little bird in its nest
He’s been tossed out on the ocean
Now he’s looking for a place to rest

Been looking for love in the arms of strangers
There’s no sweetness in the deal
So now his heart is in danger
Of telling her just how he feels

[Chorus]

Love that comes too soon
Will quickly fall apart
But love that takes its time
Will slowly bind their hearts

[Solo]

The universe is a really big place
Filled with miracles of every kind
Like when 2 people come together
With their bodies and their minds

Been looking for love in the arms of strangers
But there’s no sweetness to be found
And now their hearts are in danger
Of finally landing on solid ground

[Chorus repeated]
[Solo once to end]
