Touch Me
Fonda Rae Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're starting it over, we're making way for destiny
A time to turnover a better life for you and me
A new recreation to channel all this energy
Let's solove the equation, I need to feel, you close to me
So baby let your conscience go
There's no turning back when love takes hold
Hold me baby, drive me crazy
Touch me all night long

Make me love you, kiss and hug you
Touch me all night long

The more that I see you
The more I know that love belongs
With you in my mind boy
I wouldn't know what's right from wrong
Cos love will takeover
And leave you out of sight and mind
You've got to go with the feeling
And trust fate to be kind
And baby let your conscience go
There's no turning back when love takes hold
Hold me baby, drive me crazy
Touch me all night long
Make me love you, kiss and hug you
Touch me all night long
Hold me baby, drive me crazy
Touch me all night long
Make me love you, kiss and hug you
Touch me all night long

And baby let your conscience go
There's no turning back once love gets hold
Hold me baby, drive me crazy
Touch me all night long

Make me love you, kiss and hug you
Touch me all night long
