Analysis of Touch me
Lana Tbatou 1962 (Bloomington)
Touch me with your smooth man hands
Hold me with your arms of steel
Touch me with your soft sweet lips
Let me feel your gentle kiss
Whisper in my ears my dear
Tell me things I want to hear
Take me in your arms tonight
Hold me close let’s not fight
Don’t fight the love the passions high
Can’t you feel the hunger rise?
It rises deep within our souls
I’m grabbing hold and holding tight
For i want to show you how much I love tonight....
