Johnny Burnette And The Rock'n Roll Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Touch me baby, prrrr-ooh-ooh
Touch me baby, prrrr-ooh-ooh
Touch me baby, prrrr-ooh-ooh
Prrrr-ooh-ooh, prrrr-ooh-ooh, ooh

A-well I'm a feeling lonely (doo-wop)
And things go wrong
Then everything's made right
When you touch me (touch me baby)
A-well, when I'm all down hearted
Feel I'm alone
I know I have someone
When you touch me (touch me baby)
Your head on my shoulder
Your warm lips on my ear
And just a touch of your fingertips
All the shadows disappear
Well-a-well-a-well-a
If my eyes are clouded
Sad tears wanna fall
That's when I'm made happy
When you touch me (touch me baby)

A-well, when I'm tired and weary
From toiling all day
Well, all of these things leave me
As you touch me (touch me baby)
Well, if I think of roaming
Leaving you behind
And then I feel at home
When you touch me (touch me baby)
With eyes upon me
And your arm brushes mine
In every way that you get me
Sends the shivers up my spine
Well-a-well-a-well-a
All my eyes are clouded
Sad tears wanna fall
That's when I'm made happy
When you touch me (touch me baby)

Touch me baby, prrrr-ooh-ooh
Touch me baby, prrrr-ooh-ooh
Touch me baby, prrrr-ooh-ooh
Prrrr-ooh-ooh, prrrr-ooh-ooh, ooh




Touch me baby
Touch me!
