That's all Gshe knows Dhow to Abe
She loveBms beyond all rGeasonD

AShe is precious in God's Dsight

(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
