She's a very affectionate girl
A augmentedA
That's all she knows how to be
D MajorD
She loves beyond all reason

And I hold her like a thief

With a vengeance she embraces me
A augmentedA
And tonight vengeance is mine
G+G
But I swear she is no plaything
D MajorD
She is precious in God's sight
D MajorD
She's a very affectionate girl
A augmentedA
The way she holds my hand
D MajorD
Like she can feel every drop of water
B minorBm
And every grain of sand
F#F#
And she just wants me to lead her
A augmentedA
And she doesn't care how far
D MajorD
She'd buy any line I'd feed her
D MajorD
Like it was written in the stars

(The rest of the lyrics, following the above pattern:)
She's a very affectionate girl
When her fingers touch my lips
And she tells me not to worry
To consider this a gift
It's beyond a point of honor
It is more than I should take
For it was not the law of averages
That made her heart that way
She's a very affectionate girl
She's a very affectionate girl
And she comes as a surprise
In this age of broken promises
And so many poisoned lives
Where people keep their distance
And keep their hands to themselves
She says she only wants to kiss me
And that is something she does well
She's a very affectionate girl
