Touch Me
Boys And Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dropping "I'm sorry" like you're still around
And I know you're dressed up
Hey kid you'll never live this down
You're just the girl all the boys want to dance with
And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late
Write me off, give up on me
Cause darling what did you expect
I'm just off, a lost cause
A long shot, don't even take this bet
You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights
Get all the sighs and the moans just right
I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late
Always on (always on)
You said you'd keep me honest
Always on (always on)
But I won't call you on it
Always on (always on)
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late
The song "Touch Me" by Boys and Girls is a story of unrequited love and frustration. The lyrics suggest that the singer has hurt the person they love and caused them to leave. The line "Dropping 'I'm sorry' like you're still around" implies that the singer has apologized repeatedly but the person they hurt is no longer listening. They know they messed up, but they can't seem to make it right.
The chorus is a plea for action. The singer wants the person they love to kiss them, but they are hesitant. The line "I don't blame you for being you but you can't blame me for hating it" suggests that there is a disconnect between the two people. The singer doesn't like the way the other person is acting towards them, but they know that they cannot control their actions.
The verse "You're just the girl all the boys want to dance with and I'm just the boy who's had too many chances" is a common situation in love. The singer feels like they're not good enough for the person they love and that there's too much competition. The line "I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer trying to catch up with the other person's feelings but never succeeding.

You'll never forget this mistake
You're just the girl all the boys want to dance with
You're a popular girl that everyone likes
And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances

And women wonder why men are so confused and why we complain about getting mixed messages from women.

Totally true! Add into it being on the autistic spectrum and I end up avoiding even the slightest rub of elbows with any woman, just to be sure (and lonely).
