GUNTHER FT. SUNSHINE GIRLS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
touch me...
touch me now...
touch me, touch me, I wanna feel your body,
your heartbeat next to mine,
touch me, touch me now...
touch me, touch me now...
full moon in the city and the night was young,
I was hungry for love, I was hungry for fun,
I was hunting you down, and I was the bait,
when I saw you there, I didn't need to hesitate
this is the night, this is the night,
this is the time, we've got to get it right...
(this is the night)
touch me, touch me, I wanna feel your body,
your heartbeat next to mine,
(this is the night)
touch me, touch me now...
touch me, touch me now...
hot and cold emotion, confusing my brain,
I could not decide between pleasure and pain,
like a tramp in the night, I was begging for you
to treat my body like you wanted to
this is the night, this is the night,
this is the time, we've got to get it right...
(this is the night)
touch me, touch me, I wanna feel your body,
your heartbeat next to mine,
(this is the night)
touch me, touch me now...
touch me, touch me now...
touch me, touch me, I wanna feel your body,
your heartbeat next to mine,
(this is the night)
touch me, touch me now...
touch me, touch me now...
touch me, touch me now...
touch me, touch me now...
touch me, touch me now...
touch me, touch me now, yeah...
(this is the night)
touch me, touch me, I wanna feel your body,
your heartbeat next to mine
(this is the night)
'cos I want your body, all the time...
touch me, touch me, I wanna feel your body,
your heartbeat next to mine,
(this is the night)
touch me, touch me now...
touch me, touch me now...
touch me, touch me now...
Gunther & the Sunshine Girls’ song “Touch Me” is a very suggestive and provocative song about two people who are attracted to each other and want to be physically intimate. The chorus sets the tone for the entire song, as Gunther sings “Touch me, touch me, I wanna feel your body, your heartbeat next to mine.” The lyrics conflate emotional and physical intimacy, suggesting that the two are intimately linked. Touch, therefore, becomes a symbol for both emotional and physical connection.
The lyrics suggest that the singer sees the night as a time of possibility, and the full moon is a symbol of this. Gunther is “hungry for love, [and] hungry for fun," and he's “hunting” his potential partner. The lyrics continue: “I could not decide between pleasure and pain, like a tramp in the night, I was begging for you to treat my body like you wanted to.” The lyrics characterize the desire as overwhelming, something that swallows up the singer and forces him to need the other person.
In summary, Gunther & the Sunshine Girls’ song “Touch Me” is an overtly sexual song that uses touch as a symbol for both emotional and physical connection. It tells the story of two people who are drawn to each other and want to be physically intimate.
