When I try to hold your hand

Or try to kiss you

Then I'm pushed away

And it happens nearly every day

When I try to touch your hand

Just to show I love you

You will say it's hard

Then you wonder why

My arms expand

Affection rejected

And it's effected

My affection for you

And the rest of the world

Affection rejected

When we're in a crowded place

And I wanna hold you

You don't wanna know

I have to go

Affection rejected

And it's effected

My affection for you

And the rest of your kind

Affection rejected

Just as expect

I'm rejected

I'm rejected

If we're goin' to go

On with the show

I don't want to rehearse

Any way is tough enough

And now you're making it worse

Affection rejected

And it's effected

My affection for you

And the rest of the world

Affection rejected

Just as expected

I'm rejected

I'm rejected

Yeah, I'm rejected

I'm rejected
