Human Touch

You and me, we were the pretenders

We let it all slip away

In the end, what you don't surrender

Well, the world just strips away

Girl, ain't no kindness in the face of strangers

We ain't gonna find no miracles here

Well, you can wait on your blessings, my darlin'

I got a deal for you right here

I ain't lookin' for praise or pity

I ain't comin' 'round searchin' for a crutch

I just want someone to talk to

And a little of that human touch

Just a little of that human touch

Ain't no mercy on the streets of this town

Ain't no bread from heavenly skies

Ain't nobody drawin' wine from this blood

It's just you and me tonight

Tell me, in a world without pity

Do you think what I'm asking's too much?

I just want something to hold on to

And a little of that human touch

Just a little of that human touch

Oh girl, that feeling of safety you prize

Well, it comes with a hard, hard price

You can't shut off the risk and the pain

Without losin' the love that remains

We're all riders on this train

So you've been broken and you've been hurt?

Show me somebody who ain't

Yeah, I know I ain't nobody's bargain

But, hell, a little touch-up and a little paint

You might need somethin' to hold on to

When all the answers, they don't amount to much

Somebody that you can just talk to

And a little of that human touch

Baby, in a world without pity

Do you think what I'm asking's too much?

I just want to feel you in my arms

And share a little of that human touch

Share a little of that human touch

Feel a little of that human touch in you

Feel a little of that human touch

Share a little of that human touch

I wanna feel a little of that human touch

Give you a little of that human touch of me

Give me a little of that human touch

Hey now

Oh, God

Hey-hey, my

Share a little of that human touch

Get a little of that human touch

Get a little of that human touch

Feel a little of that human touch

Get a little of that human touch

(Give me a little of that human touch)

Ooh-hoo (give me a little of that human touch)

Hey now
