Lyrics

TOUCH ME SOFTLY, PLAY ME SLOW

Social revolution came to set me free
But still, there's a difference between you and me
You hide your soul in muscles of steel,
never reveal what you really feel
Would it be too much to ask of you,
please let down your shield
Touch me softly, play me slow
Never give me a reason to let go

I don't mind solitude too much,
but still, more than you, I long for the human touch
Don't blame me for problems caused by Pandora and Eve
My ancient sisters were innocent
They never meant to deceive
Touch me softly, play me slow
Never give me a reason to let go
Touch me softly, play me slow
Never give me a reason to let go

Ooooh, touch me softly, play me slow... never let go [add lib over verse]

I may not come home to cook and clean
But I'll always treat you right, if you know what I mean
I wasn't born for the gilded cage,
No human was, in any age
We're all made of heart and soul and blood
and flesh and bone... so

(Chorus)
Touch me softly, play me slow, and never let go
