Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But when you touch me
I don't care
All I know when you're in deep baby
I just want to keep you near
I can't control
My needing
I'm breathless
From this feeling
This need's controlling me
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
Oh yeah
Um
Oh
And everytime I feel I'm needing
I quickly stop to lose my head
Just one touch
And it to beginning
You make a temple of my bed
I can't control
My needing
You're all I hoped you'd be
I'm breathless
From this feeling
This need's controlling me
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
Oh no, hell no
Just where did it go
'Cause when it's right
To it shouldn't fight
I can't to screen
When you're with me
To think I sugared
It feels so good
I can't control
My needing
You're all I hoped you'd be (Let it go)
I'm breathless
From this feeling
This need's controlling me
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
The softer the touch
The softer the touch, ooh yeah
The sweeter the kiss
The sweeter the kiss
The slower the hand
The slower the hand
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
must be bad
The softer the touch
Yeah yeah, must be bad
The sweeter the kiss
Yeah
The slower the hand
Oh it hurts
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
In the song "Softer the Touch" by Atomic Kitten, the lyrics express a strong and addictive desire for someone. The first verse suggests that the person being sung about is physically attractive, but it is more about how they make the singer feel when they're being touched. The chorus repeats that the softer, slower and sweeter the touch or kiss, the more passionately the singer loves this person. This is also true for the slower the hand movement, the more it makes the singer want that person even faster. The second verse repeats these sentiments and further implies that this need for this person is almost uncontrollable, taking over and controlling the singer's emotions.
The song suggestions a passionate yet destructive love, in which an intense attraction is mixed with the equally strong pain. It becomes difficult for the singer to control her emotions and she feels breathless around this person as the need to be near them takes a hold of her. She makes temple out of her bed for that person alone, suggesting that she worships them in a way that is almost religious. The bridge speaks to the pleasure that comes from surrendering to this love, while the last chorus repeats the sentiments from earlier in the song until the end.
