Sweet Connection

Sweet connection, sweet connection. (I need a)
Sweet connection, sweet connection.

I'm not looking for you,
And you're not looking for me.
But I know I got a deep need.

I can hide it with smiles;
I learned that much from TV.
But I know we got a deep need for something.

So while we're drinking ourselves dry,
Tell me your fears, I'll tell you mine,
I'm just trying to find a sweet connection
All the time.

This yearning ought to be used
On writing songs about something new,
But I'm facing the wrong direction again.
And I don't know how to explain,
Sometimes, don't you just want to feel?
Because you know there's safety in something unreal.

So while we're drinking ourselves dry,
Tell me your fears, I'll tell you mine,
I'm just trying to find a sweet connection
All the time.

But if it's not sadness, it's bitterness;
And if it's not wine, you know, it's something else.
When will I grow up and learn that making love
Ain't all that love should be? Oh, not for me.

So while we're drinking ourselves dry,
Tell me your fears, I'll tell you mine,
I'm just trying to find a sweet connection
All the time.

While we're wasting each other's precious time,
Asking questions, should I stay the night?
I'm just trying to find that sweet connection,
Trying to face the right direction,
But I just want to feel some true affection - baby, we all need it,
All the time.
