Touch Me When We're Dancing
Carpenters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Play us a song we can slow dance on
We want to hold each other
Play us a groove so we hardly move
Just let our hearts beat together
Oh baby, 'cause it feels so good
When we're close like this
Whisper is my ear and let me steal a kiss

Come on and touch me
When we're dancing
You know you've got that loving touch
(Loving touch)
Touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm falling in love

Tonight's the night and it feels so right
My heart is saying it to me
You're the one I've waited for so long
So let your love flow through me
Oh baby, 'cause it feels so good
Just to be this close
You've got me up so high
I could fly coast to coast

Come on and touch me
When we're dancing
You know you've got that loving touch
(Loving touch)
Touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm falling in love

Touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that loving touch
(Loving touch)
Touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm falling in love
Touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that loving touch

(Loving touch)
Touch me when we're dancing

Pablo Malaga Yes. I’ve seen a lot of documentaries, interviews. I don’t believe it was Richard in the slightest. They were very close. He was the absolute best at producing his sister, knowing what was right for her particular sound. Her Mom on the other hand? Totally favored Richard and from interviews seemed quite abrasive and curt with Karen. Just a tragedy all around.

Karens mother was her problem with Anorexia. The mother always doted on Richard , while Karen was never good enough. She only wanted her mothers approval and love. This is why she starved herself. It was the only thing she had control over. She seen herself as imperfect , and kept trying to be perfect . Her mother controlled her life , even forcing Karen to marry after Karen wanted to back out , when she found out that he had a vasectomy. She knew that she would never have the children and happy life she longed for. Such a sad life!

@Jonathan Hindson You would not even know Karen as you do except for Richard! Yes, he was very protective of the Carpenter sound. But he also felt responsible for it. Do you know how many songs Richard picked and even wrote-- even specifically for Karen (like "Because We Are in Love")? How many albums did he produce? Who asked Karen to sing in her gorgeous lower range and arranged everything for that?

A&M executives asked Karen that the album not be released-- and she complied. Many songs were not even completed and were only work leads.

She is beautiful in my eyes in this video, not only her voice and with her standing despite her ilness. Only 30 years old, struggling with the disease anorexia nervosa and still performing with that angelic voice. She was also a world-class drummer, percussionist. Read in one of the comments that she bested out John Bonham in a drummers poll, she was # 10 & Bonham was #11. I also read in her life story that in her family brother Richard was Mommy's favorite, her golden boy. Karen didn't have much choices but to sing with her brother. Stardom brought on physiological stresses about her appearance, she had shy nature and the disease which was not well known then "anorexia nervosa" weakened her heart, body and she suffered a deadly heart attack at a young age of 32 years old. May she rest in peace..

This track features her fine upper register. Despite her horrible health she kept the quality at her very best.

So poorly here but a voice of a angel. Richard was smiling proudly but close to losing his beautiful sister. Fly high lovely lady 😇🙏

Look at all the videos of them, Richard only turns on the plastic smile when the camera is on him.

The voice was always amazing. It's sad that she actually looks 15 or 20 years older here than she looks in her mid and late 1970's videos, when in reality it was just a few years later. She definitely didn't appear to be healthy and youthful at this time. It's so tragic how things ended up for her. But her voice and the music lives on forever!

I still have the memories of her singing this song when it came out! !!! Oh my God, look how sick she is n still sing like a angel! !!

@allenbooth5193

I once heard her sing and could tell she was not at her best vocally (compared to what she had sounded liked earlier earlier in her life). But she still sounded good.

@tbicknell1

I've loved her since I was about 10 years old, and I'm 62 now!!

La voz más dulce que escuché en mi vida. Siempre lo dije y lo diré. Tengo 60 años, y para mí Karen ha sido una gran pérdida para el canto. Siempre amaré esa melodiosa voz!!!

So hard to watch this beauty of a song, she was so not well. Taking too soon from us from that awful disease❤🎶

The awkward camera movement when he realises he’s set focus on David’s junk instead of the group is very entertaining

😥 Sadness for all the 40 years plus that has gone by and the countless people who are gone with it. The last half of 1981 had a distinct sadness to it. There was a whole lot of misfortune, then in particular.
