Don't Touch Me There
Crystal Bernard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you are not suppose to be
Are you listening
Somehow you slip inside the walls
That's when my rusted armor falls
I hear whispering
From a voice inside of me
That's screaming silently
It doesn't belong to you
You can't use me anymore
Don't touch me there
I am no longer yours
You can't bruise me like before
Don't touch me there
Well maybe I cry too easily
I couldn't escape an injury
Let me walk away
'Cause you are much harder to resist
When you keep holding me like this
With no words to say
And my heart begins to feel
The wound that just won't heal
I'm stronger to the ways of love
I have grown accustom to the pain
But my heart still remains
guarded
And I won't let you in again
The lyrics of Crystal Bernard's song Don't Touch Me There is about a woman who was in an abusive relationship. She tried to break free from her abuser, but it seemed like he always found his way back into her life, both literally and figuratively. The lines "There is a place inside of me, Where you are not supposed to be" and "Don't touch me there, It doesn't belong to you, You can't use me anymore" are clear indications that she wants her abuser to stay away from her, physically and emotionally.
Despite her strong will, the woman still finds it hard to resist her abuser's advances, and she admits to crying easily and feeling emotionally hurt. She wants to walk away, but finds herself trapped by the abuser's touch and his sweet words. However, she is determined to keep herself guarded and not let her abuser in again.
Overall, the song is a testament to the resilience of victims of abuse who are able to break free from their abusers and stand their ground against them, no matter how hard it may seem. It is a powerful message about taking control of one's life and not letting anyone else dictate it.

There is a place inside of me
There's a part of me that's personal and shouldn't be violated.
Where you are not suppose to be
You're not allowed to intrude on that part of me.
Are you listening
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Somehow you slip inside the walls
You find a way to get past my defenses.
That's when my rusted armor falls
That's when my guard comes down.
I hear whispering
I hear a voice.
From a voice inside of me
It's a voice within me.
That's screaming silently
It's shouting without making a sound.
Don't touch me there
You're not allowed to touch me there.
It doesn't belong to you
That part of me is not yours to touch.
You can't use me anymore
You can't take advantage of me like you did before.
Don't touch me there
Again, you're not allowed to touch me there.
I am no longer yours

You can't bruise me like before
You can't hurt me like you used to.
Don't touch me there
Once more, you're not supposed to touch me there.
Well maybe I cry too easily
Perhaps I'm too emotional.
I couldn't escape an injury
I couldn't avoid getting hurt.
Let me walk away
Let me leave the situation.
'Cause you are much harder to resist
Because I find it difficult to say no to you.
When you keep holding me like this
When you're physically holding onto me.
With no words to say
When neither of us can speak.
And my heart begins to feel
And my emotions start to surface.
The wound that just won't heal
The pain that never really goes away.
I'm stronger to the ways of love
I'm more experienced with love.
I have grown accustom to the pain
I'm used to the hurt that comes with relationships.
But my heart still remains
My emotions are still present.

Never in my life have I heard of this woman, even though music means everything to me - I mean everything.
Gosh, what did I miss there? Crystal is one of those singers, who manage to go straight under my skin. Words cannot express what I feel when listening to her, and it almost feels I am in a different world altogether.
She has certainly become one of my favorites, for sure. ❤
How's it vinGOing?
Shes amazing. And I always loved her acting especially in Wings but didnt realize how great a singer she is. Did you know she wrote one of Paula Abdul big hits? She also sung a hit with Peter Cetera in the 80s or early 90s

Kim Schmidt
I'm at a loss for words... I have been a fan of hers (albeit a distant one) for a long time and I had no idea she recorded songs too! I thought she was just an actress. This song DID touch me and I can't wait to hear more!
Randy Gates
Also duet with Jim Messina.

Beautiful voice. This actress can really sing. Besides I wanna take forever tonight, this is my next favorite song. She sings better than majority of the wonen singers today. Love both of her cds. What a talent
