Human Touch

[Verse] 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 [Verse] There ain't no kindness in the face of strangers Ain't gonna find no miracles here Well, you can wait on your blessings now, darlin' I got a deal for you right here [Chorus] 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 [Verse] 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 [Chorus] Tell me, in a world without pity Do you think what I'm asking for is too much? I just want something to hold on to And a little of that human touch Just a little of that human touch [Bridge] 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 'Cause we're all riders on this train [Verse] 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 [Chorus] You might need somethin' to hold on to All the answers don't amount to much Somebody you could just talk to And a little of that human touch [Chorus] Tell me, in a world without pity Do you think what I'm asking for is too much? I just want to feel you in my arms Share a little of that human touch [Outro] Feel a little of that human touch Give a little of that human touch
