Touch
Eddie and Company Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up this morning
Cleaning the sheets
Cleaning the clothes
Gotta be neat
You came in last night
Followed my lead
You wanted to dance
So we put on a beat
We were getting real close
Feeling the heat
From our head to our chest
Down to our feet
You wanted some more
I said you should leave
Now we’re here next morning
I’m making you something to eat
All we did was touch
All we did was love
You can’t catch no feelings
No, you’re too much of a dove
I can’t taint you
Take away the pure[01:06.023]
You wanna be mine
You gotta know for sure
Can we touch? Can we touch?
Can we touch?
Can we love?
Without you thinking I came from up above
Can we love?
Can we kiss?
I’m not you for no, I can’t be missed




Can we touch?
Cut it

Overall Meaning

The song "Touch" by Eddie and Company talks about a one-night stand and the aftermath of it. The first verse describes the morning after the night before when the singer wakes up and proceeds to clean up after they had been intimate. They imply that the person they slept with followed their lead, and they both wanted to dance; hence they put on a beat. As the night progressed, they started to get physically closer, and there was an intense connection between them. However, in the end, the singer didn't want the other person to catch any feelings or fall in love with them because they're too pure and innocent for that.


The chorus is a plea or a question asked by the singer to the other person. They ask if they can love, touch, and kiss without any expectations, without any strings attached, without the other person thinking that they are too good for them. They want to know if the other person is truly ready for commitment and if they can handle what comes with it. The singer puts it bluntly: they can't be missed and won't wait around if the answer is no.


In summary, "Touch" is a song that explores the aftermath of a one-night stand and the singer's hesitancy to commit to a relationship. They want to know if the other person is ready for something more without getting hurt in the process.

Sounds like something Stimela would conjour up... Dope track once again by Eddie....

@camdazebrouhaha6193

Great track, but based on the label stamp I think this is actually either Yeah or When The Wind Blows. https://www.discogs.com/Eddie-C-Yeah-When-The-Wind-Blows/release/3164060

Farmer God is on a green stamped 7" https://www.discogs.com/Eddie-C-Farmer-God/release/6215254
