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
