I Touch Myself
Divinyls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to love me
When I feel down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You're the one who makes me come runnin'
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around, I'm always laughin'
I want to make you mine
I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I'd get down on my knees, I'd do anything for you
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no, yeah
I love myself
I want you to love me
When I feel down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I want you
I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
I touch myself (I don't want)
I touch myself (anybody else)
I touch myself (when I think about you)
I touch myself
I touch myself (I don't want)
I touch myself (anybody else)
I touch myself (when I think about you)
I honestly do
I touch myself (I don't want)
I touch myself (anybody else)
I touch myself (when I think about you)
I honestly do
I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself
The song I Touch Myself by Divinyls is widely known as an anthem for self-empowerment and female sexuality. The song expresses a clear message that the singer loves herself and wants her lover to love her as well. She asserts that she doesn't need anyone else besides her lover and can satisfy her desires by herself. The phrase "I don't want anybody else" repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the point that the singer's love and sensuality is exclusively for her lover.
The chorus of the song is the most recognizable part because of its straightforwardly orgasmic vibe. The lyrics, "When I think about you, I touch myself," suggest a level of self-pleasure and sexual desire while highlighting the strength of the singer's feelings for her lover. By taking pleasure in her own body, the singer expresses her independence, self-worth, and confidence. The verse "I close my eyes and see you before me" suggests a strong emotional attachment, and "I'd get down on my knees, I'd do anything for you" is a declaration of love and devotion. The song is about self-love and loving someone deeply, passionately, and entirely.
