All your life you was raised to believe in a certain kind of love

But now you grown up and you find that it wasn't what you thought

But you know it's the hard won truth

That's gonna tell you what you've got to do

All it took was a little bit of love, a little happiness

But your feet are back on the ground and you're wondering if it strikes twice

Now there's nothing but to wait for the rain

Wait to see if it's all in vain

But it seems to me

Like all you need

Is a little bit of

Genuine affection

Emotional protection

Trying to get you to see

That it's not for me

To give you back what you used to have

All you know is it's boiling down to one cold hard fact

That if you can't hope to love then you can't hope to live

That's why I'm only looking out for you

When I say that thеre's nothing I can do

But to go on and let you fly

Instead of keep you coming back on a liе

But it seems to me

Like all you need

Is a little bit of

Genuine affection

Emotional protection

Trying to get you to see

That it's not for me

To give you back what you used to have

Genuine affection

Emotional protection

Genuine affection
