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 my darlin' But I got a deal for you right here
I ain't looking for prayers or pity I ain't coming 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 feelin' 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 been broken and you 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 for 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
