Office girls, they pass me by
They don't know my name
Put me on the danger list,
Just too wild to tame
Take the drinks off of the table
Throw my guitar out the door
Set my sights on some new sunrise
Help my feet to the floor
CHORUS
I ain't lookin' for affection
I guess I need myself a shove
Give me someone I can look up to
Show me someone I can love

Good boys go to heaven,
If they say their prayers
Me, I don't say anything at all
I hope the Big Man still cares
Touch my soul with your religion
Cut my throat with your spite
Hurt me with your silence, girl
Stay with me, stay with me, stay with
Me tonight
CHORUS
I ain't lookin' for affection
I guess I need myself a shove
Give me someone I can look up to
Show me someone I can love

Don't go starin' at me
Makes me feel so insecure
Talk behind my back if you want to
I don't hear no more
Take me to my destination
Put me on the plane
Fly me up to heaven, dear Lord
Take me home again
CHORUS
I ain't lookin' for affection
I guess I need myself a shove
Give me someone I can look up to
Show me someone I can love
