| 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'
|
| But I got a deal for you right here
|
| I ain’t lookin' 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 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 uthink what I’m askin’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 pain
|
| Without losin' the love that remains
|
| We’re all riders on this train
|
| So you been broken and you been hurt
|
| Show me soomebody 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 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 askin’s too much?
|
| I just want to feel you in my arms
|
| And share a little of that human touch… |
