I guess the veil fell
You left and didn't tell
You left me standing there
Waiting for you
And love grows cold

Trust me, I know
This ain't my first rodeo
You never notice anymore
You think that I don't notice

Just don't feed me affection
Like it's my blessing and your burden
Like it's my joy
And no one else will ever love me like
You don't love me, love me no more
Just don't feed me affection (whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh)
Just don't feed me affection (whoa-ooh)
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

I cannot explain, I cannot backtrack
If I lost it back there, I can't take it back, back
You can't tell me I'm alone here
(You can't tell me I'm alone, yeah, yeah)
You can't tell me I'm alone here
(You can't tell me I'm alone, yeah, yeah)

You said you don't want me to feel
Like you dragged me out to sea to abandon me
But baby, you did, you did
Just don't feed me affection
Just don't feed me affection
Whoa, ooh

Just don't feed me affection
Like it's my blessing and your burden
Like it's my joy
And no one else will ever love me like
You don't love me, love me no more
Just don't feed me affection

You don't love me
So just don't feed me
It's not my blessing (like no one else will ever love me)
It ain't my joy, joy, joy

You don't love me
So just don't feed me
It's not my blessing
Just don't feed me affection (whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh)
Just don't feed me affection (whoa-ooh)
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
