Story Behind The Song
I experienced so many relationships where women play hard to get and seem to not be interested. Fortunes change when the suitors are no longer hanging around. In this case, after a particularly hurtful relationship, the woman wanted to get back together. It only seemed she was doing so because she thought the "grass would be greener", but found out it wasn't. Only then was she interested in getting back together, but too much damage had been done.
Song Description
After being dumped by a lover, she wants to get back in his life. He's so hurt by the breakup he can't let her or anyone else in his life

Lyrics
Word is out all over town
Baby I hear you've been looking around
Tryin hard just to get in touch with me
It hasn't been so long now
But all of our past has faded somehow
So now you want to reach out to me
I'm untouchable ooh untouchable ooh
Your attitude changed so fast
When your reach exceeded your grasp
So now you want to reach out to me
I'm untouchable ooh ooh ooh
Seems such a very short time
I was one of many standing in line
Just another guy trying to get close to you
How blind I was not to see
That you would never reach out to me
Cause no one can get close to you
You're untouchable, ooh untouchable, ooh
Like a man who's going insane
I could only shout out your name
But you would never hear me
You're untouchable, ooh ooh ooh
Time has a way of changing all
They say that it heals, but sometimes it harms
Is that what it did to you and all of your charms?
So now that you're out on your own
You never thought you could feel so alone
The hurt you can feel, way dowm deep in your bones
Cause true love is so hard to get
In a world full of people trying to connect
I'll never forgive you for what you did to me
I'm untouchable, ooh untouchable, ooh
Like a comet that streaks through the night
Like a vision just out of your sight
Like the dark thoughts in your mind
Like a feeling that's so hard to find
Baby you will never ever find me
I'm untouchable ooh untouchable
Ooh untouchable
