Human Touch

[Verse 1]

Give me what I'm asking for

Stop bringing me down or I'll slam the door

You're getting out of line with the Beverly Boys

You start making the moves, they start making the noise

You know you're not getting lucky living the life

Because you're moving to the jungle and paying the price

You're living right along with the new Brady Bunch

Have your people call my people and let's do lunch

Reaction to the action

There's more to me than human flesh

I've had enough distractions

I need some tenderness

[Chorus]

Human touch

I gotta know it's real

I'm tired of people selling their sex appeal

Human touch

I need human love

No imitations of, oh baby

[Verse 2]

A bird in the bush is worth two in the street

You know the kind of people never want to meet

You're sitting really pretty in your swimming pool

With your rock and roll tan, you keep thinking you're cool

You know you can't reach Jesus on your portable phone

He ain't speaking to the people in their Hollywood homes

With a toot in your snoot and your loot to boot

You don't even give a hoot about the minds you pollute

Looking for deceptions

There's more to me than human flesh

I'm finding new directions

I need some tenderness

[Chorus]

Human touch

I gotta know it's real

I'm tired of people selling their sex appeal

Human touch

I need human love

No imitations of, oh baby

[Bridge]

I'm looking for the real thing

There's more to me than human flesh

I'm gonna stop at nothing

[Chorus]

Human touch

I gotta know it's real

I'm tired of people selling their sex appeal

Human touch

I need human love

No imitations of, oh baby

Human touch

I gotta know it's real

I'm tired of people selling their sex appeal

Human touch

I need human love

No imitations of, oh baby

[Outro]

You can't reach Alanis on her portable phone

It'll be ringing off the hook 'cause there's nobody home

Cut her some slack, yeah, or she won't be back

Without the human touch
