Touch
Lionel Richie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me take you on a journey
I want tonight to be the night
I spend with you girl
Just relax, close the door
Don't hold back your feelings
All I want to do is just explore
Let me show you how love can feel
Show you that my love is really real
Touch, let me touch you baby
( I wanna touch your sweet body)
Touch and touch
(Touch, touch your sweet soul)
Touch, let me hold you baby
(Touch I want your mind to surrender)
And touch and touch
(Touch make me whole)
Gentle whispers will fill the night
Words hardly spoken
I feel the passion, I see the light
With you girl
I want to live inside your fantasy
I want to feel your fire burning
I want to know just how free is free
With you girl, only with you
Do you feel what I feel inside
If you do then come on take this ride
Touch, let me touch you baby
( I wanna touch your sweet body)
Touch and touch
(Touch, touch your sweet soul)
Touch, let me hold you baby
(Touch I want your mind to surrender)
And touch and touch
(Touch make me whole)
Do you feel what I feel inside
If you do then come on take this ride
Touch, let me touch you baby
( I wanna touch your sweet body)
Touch and touch
(Touch, touch your sweet soul)
Touch, let me hold you baby
(Touch I want your mind to surrender)
And touch and touch
(Touch make me whole)
And touch, I want to touch
I want to touch your mind
I want to be your friend
I want to touch your heart
I want to touch in you
The lyrics to Lionel Richie's song Touch are about a man who wants to make love to a woman who he deeply cares about. He wants to take her on a journey through the night and make her feel loved and appreciated. He tells her to relax and not hold back her feelings as he explores the night with her. He wants to show her how love can feel, and that his love for her is real. The second verse delves further into his desires to live inside her fantasy, to feel her fire burning, and to know just how free is free with her.
The chorus of the song is all about touch - he wants to touch her sweet body, soul, hold her, and make her whole. He wants to be with her and touch all parts of her, including her mind, heart, and soul. He asks if she feels what he feels inside and if she does, he invites her to take this ride with him.
The song is a beautiful depiction of two people deeply in love and caring for each other. It's about exploring each other's bodies and souls, wanting to know everything there is to know about one another. It's about touch being more than just physical, but also emotional and spiritual.
