Why partial fraction decomposition of $frac{1}{s^2(s+2)}$ is $frac{A}{s}+frac{B}{s^2}+frac{C}{(s+2)}$?

Can someone please explain why: $$frac{1}{s^2(s+2)}=frac{A}{s}+frac{B}{s^2}+frac{C}{(s+2)}$$ And not: $$frac{1}{s^2(s+2)}=frac{A}{s^2}+frac{B}{(s+2)}$$ I'm a bit confused where the extra s term comes from in the first equation.
