[Verse 1]
C#m B
Well, people all over the world, people all over the world,
C#m B C#m B C#m B
people all over the world are starvin' just for affection
C#m
Well, but to me this ain't funny
B
To me this is real
C#m
So I thought I'd tell everybody
B
How I feel
C#m B
About affection
C#m B
I said affection
C#m B
Now, you guys, you all know that your friend Jonathan likes to eat food a lot
C#m B
And I like to do other things, I like to run around, jump
C#m B
but affection is the most important thing to me
C#m B
I'd trade everything else in a minute...
C#m B
You know, I used to starve for affection
C#m B
I blamed the world, and it could be the world's fault, I suppose
C#m B
But I was a star of the type who said, "I don't have time for them,"
C#m B
And the type who says, "I have nothing in common with those."
C#m
But then I relaxed a little
B
And I met more folks who liked me
C#m B
And they helped me to reach out and give
C#m B
And that helped me to get more of affection
C#m B
And that helped me to live
[Chorus]
C#m
So I say that people all over the world are good
B
People all over the world ain't bad
C#m
But if they keep bein' snobs about it
B
They ain't gonna get what they wish they had
C#m B
And that's affection
C#m B

[Verse 2]
C#m B
Well, there's telephones, televisions, and cars, yes
C#m B
And there's records and books and magazines for you
C#m B
But poor affection sits there standing in the corner
C#m B
Saying to itself, "I wish someone would give me something to do."
C#m B
Well, I know it takes nerve to reach out and give affection
C#m B
To folks who seem to want your touch but you can't tell
C#m B
Cause they can laugh at you, and that's rejection
C#m B
And you probably won't like that so well
[Chorus]
C#m
But I say that people all over the world are good
B
People all over the world ain't bad
C#m
But if they keep on chickenin' out
B
They won't get what they wish they had
C#m B
Affection
C#m B
That's affection (keep it up noq)
C#m B
I know they want affection
C#m B
I know they want affection
