Love And Affection

Joan Armatrading

I am not in love

But I'm open to persuasion

East or West

Where's the best

For romancing



With a friend

I can smile

But with a lover

I could hold my head back

I could really laugh

Really laugh



Thank you

You took me dancing

'Cross the floor

Cheek to cheek

But with a lover

I could really move

Really move

I could really dance

Really dance

Really dance

Really dance

I could really move

Really move

Really move

Really move



Now if I can feel the sun

In my eyes

And the rain on my face

Why can't I

Feel love



I can really love

Really love

Really love

Really love

Really love

Love love love love

Love love love love



Now I got all

The friends that I want

I may need more

But I shall just stick to those

That I have got

With friends I still feel

So insecure



Little darling I believe you could

Help me a lot

Just take my hand

And lead me where you will

No conversation

No wave goodnight

Just make love

With affection



Sing me another love song

But this time

With a little dedication

Sing it, sing it

You know that's what I like

Once more with feeling

Give me love

Give me love

Give me love

Love...
