Affair Lyrics by Cherrelle

Affair

1988

Affair. (Whoo!)
Whoo!
Ow, ow! Uh! Ah!
Hot stuff. Ha, ha, ha, ha!

What do you call this thing we have?
Am I your woman? Are you my man?
Could it be love or just a fling?
Maybe your body, it agrees with me

Affair. (Oooh, oooh, oooh.)
I don't need commitment
I don't need a man to tell me how to feel
Affair. (Oooh, oooh, oooh.)
I don't want a promise. (Oooh, oooh.)
All I really need is to be close to you. (Oooh, oooh. Oooh, oooh, oooh.)
Oooh

The rules!
Now I want respect and I'll state my case
'Cause baby, I won't take all your loveliness in my face
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
So hear me loud and clear, don't matter if you flirt
As long as you're discreet
And make sure nobody's hurt like me

Affair. (Affair.)
I don't need commitment. (Oh no.)
I don't need a man to tell me how to feel. (How to feel)
Affair
I don't want a promise. (Oh no.)
All I really need is to be close to you. (Ooooooh, oooh, oooh.)
Affair. (Oh, oh, yeah.)
I don't need commitment
I don't need a man to tell me how to feel
Affair. (Oooh, oooh, oooh.)
I don't want a promise
All I really need is to be close to you

(Whoo!) A-A-Affair
Ah-ah
I don't need, I don't need...No
I don't need...Affair, affair
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I don't need, I don't need...No
I don't need, I don't need

Affair. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.)
(He-e-e-e-e-ey, yeah, yeah.)
Affair. (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah.)
(Hey, eh, eh, eh.)
A-A-A-A-A-Affair. (Oooh, hoo, hoo. Hee, eee, hee.)
(Hee-eee-hee-eee-hee-eee. Oooooooooooh.)

I-I-I-I-I don't need commitment. (Affair.)
I don't need a man (Hey! Whoo!) to tell me how to feel
(Whoo!)
Affair. (Oooh, oooh, oooh.)
I don't want a promise. (Oh no.)
All I really need is to be close to you. (Oooooooh, oooh, oooh.)
Affair. (Oh, oh, yeah.)
I don't need commitment
I don't need a man to tell me how to feel
Affair. (Oooh, oooh, oooh.)
I don't want a promise
All I really need is to be close to you
Affair. (Oooh, oooh, oooh.)
I don't need commitment
I don't need a man to tell me how to feel
(I don't need a man.) Affair
(All I really want,) I don't want a promise
(All I really need is to be close to you.)
All I really need is to be close to you. (Ooooooooh, oooh, oooh.)
