Don't Touch Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your hand is like a torch
Each time you touch me, the look in your eyes pulls me apart
Oh yes it does
Please don't open the door to heaven if I can't
If I can't come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Don't give me something
You that you might soon take away, hey baby
To have you then lose you, that wouldn't be smart on my part
Baby, baby don't open the door to heaven
If you won't let me come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Baby, baby don't open the door to heaven
If you won't let me come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Oh don't touch me if you don't love me
Don't do it, don't do it, sweetheart
