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 blesses 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 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 at 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 could just to 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 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 Share a little of that human touch Feel a little of that human touch Give you a little of that human touch Give me a little of that human touch
