Touch
Eddie and Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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?

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.

Woke up this morning
Starting off the day
Cleaning the sheets
Tidying up the aftermath of our intimate encounter
Cleaning the clothes
Making sure we leave no trace
Gotta be neat
Being careful not to leave evidence
You came in last night
You joined me in our secret liaison
Followed my lead
You let me take control
You wanted to dance
You desired more than just physical interaction
So we put on a beat
We shared a moment of rhythm and connection
We were getting real close
We were falling into each other's embrace
Feeling the heat
Our bodies were responding to our desires
From our head to our chest
We felt a deep passion
Down to our feet
It consumed our entire being
You wanted some more
You desired a longer connection
I said you should leave
I had to remind you of our limitations
Now we’re here next morning
We're starting a new day together
I’m making you something to eat
I'm showing my care and affection
All we did was touch
Our intimacy was limited to physical affection
All we did was love
Our passion was pure and genuine
You can’t catch no feelings
Our interaction is void of emotional attachment
No, you’re too much of a dove
You're too innocent for anything deeper
I can’t taint you
I can't ruin your innocence or purity
Take away the pure[01:06.023]
I can't corrupt your natural purity
You wanna be mine
You want me to be your partner
You gotta know for sure
You need to understand what's involved
Can we touch? Can we touch?
Do you want to be physically intimate?
Can we touch?
Are you willing to share our physical pleasure?
Can we love?
Can we explore a deeper emotional bond?
Without you thinking I came from up above
Without thinking I'm some sort of savior or miracle
Can we love?
Do you desire a deeper connection?
Can we kiss?
Can we share a moment of tenderness?
I’m not you for no, I can’t be missed
I'm not someone you can easily forget
Can we touch?
Are you still interested in physical intimacy?

@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
