I Touch Myself
Lakshmi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I feel down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
When I forget myself
I want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

When I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I'd get down on my knees
I'd do anything for you
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
Oh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no, yeah
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
No I don't want anybody else
Oh no oh no oh no
I love myself
I want you to love me

When I feel down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me




When I forget myself
I want you to remind me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to this song express a deep sense of self-love, which is inextricably linked with a longing to be loved intimately by another person. The singer knows herself intimately and recognizes that she is deserving of love, and she wants her lover to experience the same level of self-love. She acknowledges that there are times when she feels low or forgets herself, and in those moments, she wants her lover to be there to remind her of her worth and her love for herself.


The chorus of the song, "I don't want anybody else, when I think about you, I touch myself" is often misinterpreted as being solely sexual in nature, but it is really about the way in which thinking about her lover's love for her makes her feel so deeply connected to herself and her own worth. It is a celebration of self-pleasure and self-love that is intimately linked to the singer's desire to be loved by her partner.
