The Way You Touch Me
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was alone, waiting with my fantasies
Until you came, liberated me
And taught me so much about humanity
Yeah-e yeah-e-yeah

I needed you to know
You're more than just a one night stand
And girl with your permission
Baby you can give me your hand
Not your romance

'Cause it's the way you touch me baby
Oh it's the way you touch me baby
If you want we can talk, all night long
But it's the way you touch me baby

I was alone, grasping for my sanity
You beauty came free of vanity
Opened my mind, gave me your anatomy
Yeah - e - yeah - e - yeah

I needed you to know
You're more than just a one night stand
I need some supervision
I'm losing all control of my hands
In your command

'Cause it's the way you touch me baby
Oh it's the way you touch me baby
If you want we can talk, all night long
But it's the way you touch me baby

You should really know you've got me eating from your hand
And the ship is gonna blow
And baby it's not gonna end
Till your coming

It's the way you touch
'Cause it's the way you touch me baby
Oh it's the way you touch me baby
If you want we can talk, all night long
But it's the way you touch me baby
It's the way you touch me baby
It's the way you touch me baby
If you want we can talk, all night long
But it's the way you touch me baby
It's the way you touch me baby
It's the way you touch me baby
If you want we can talk, all night long
But it's the way you touch me baby




It's the way you touch me baby
It's the way you touch me baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Enrique Iglesias's "The Way You Touch Me" relate to the irreplaceable feeling that comes with meeting someone special. The opening lines feature the singer describing an existence of solitude, accentuated by a lifetime of fantasies that comes to a halt after meeting a girl who "liberated" him. Through the relationship with her, he learned more about humankind as a whole, suggesting that she was able to introduce him to new aspects of the world.


Later in the lyrics, in the second set of verses, the singer reiterates that his newfound partner is not just a one-night affair, and she is more than a casual partner. He speaks about the desire to be with her longer than just one night, perhaps even hoping to spend time speaking with her well into the night. The chorus is simple in comparison, highlighting that even though they can engage in conversations as long as they wish, it is "the way you touch me, baby" that holds him the most.


As the song begins to close, the singer insists that the woman has him "eating out of her hand," and not ending their love till "your coming," indicating that the relationship can continue as long as she is there. Through these lyrics, Enrique makes it clear that the sensations that accompany physical attraction can never be replaced by anything else.
