Oh oh Oh-Ooh
(8 times)
If You don't have the guts
To tell me who You are
If You don't have the look
Then You might not get us far
I dusted down your childhood
I gave You mine to share
I let You in my pockets
There's enough loose change to spare
Could You be the last
You should have been the first
You played me as You threw me in a twisted universe
You touch me in a way
Like no one in this world
I don't even know if You're a boy or You're a girl
I like
The way You touch me
(touch me touch me touch me touch me)
Oh oh Oh-Ooh
(7 times)
For We are the misbegotten
Live with me through dark and light
On a journey into the unknown
While we feel wild tonight
I met a poet in a hotel
Just the other night
He said he lived in Aberdeen
and would I like to take his life
Then I found two girls
In matching bathing suits
While he would like to dye my hair
At least let me do your roots
It seems lately I've been struck
With what I really am
You can't see it in a picture
Or in a photograph
But I like the way you touch me
I like
The way you touch me
I like
The way you touch me
(touch me touch me touch me touch me)
