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

Ain't gonna find no miracles here

Well, you can wait on your blessings, darlin'

I got a deal for you right here

I ain't looking for prayers 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 the 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 onto

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 losing 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 touchup, and a little paint

You might need somethin' to hold onto

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

Somebody that you could 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

Share a little of that human touch

Share a little of that human touch

Feel a little of that human touch

Feel a little of that human touch
