Believe me
It always turns out the same
Oh, affection has always been a little game
And forgive me
It's one I've never understood
Love to me has been as bad as good
I've been drowning in the water
That you're walking on
Been falling through the air
Whilst you float up
Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes, I'll wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
'Cause all I want is that cold affliction
Of your affection
♪
And believe me
Oh, it happens all the time
Oh, affection can be as cruel as it is kind
Oh, and lover, won't you give me a sign?
Seems love can be as deaf as it is blind
I've been drowning in the water
That you're walking on
Been falling through the air
Whilst you float up
Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes, I'll wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
'Cause all I want is that cold affliction
Of your affection
And fall down into sleep
Into a fever dream
Where I barely know what is going on
Except I know that I want you
And I know that I need you
And I tell you I love you again and again and again and again
Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes, I'll wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
'Cause all I want is that cold affliction
Of your affection
