Touch You
Roy Woods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I need a
A little bit of inspiration
When can we meet up?
So I can come and sex you, baby
Lil' mamacita
I'm tryna get you down with us
Oh, you know the kids up
Picture me, you and a villa, oh

Fuck a COVID-19
Long as I get to see that body on a beach, oh
In your little two-piece
Tryna see you in the Bahamas, under the seas, oh
You're the one that I need
Chills in your body when I touch you like this, ooh
When I touch you like this
Tell the truth, ain't nobody touch you like this, ooh

Ooh, how it feel we ridin' legit?
I'm tryna chill
I'm just tryna get outside quick
Get you off your phone
All you do is scroll through your 'Gram
You need to get out your crib
Baby, can't lie, I'm convinced
Quarantine got shawty in her feels
Tryna stack some money, not the bills
Baby got it poppin' when she lives
Always on my heart you had to steal
Got me spendin' hunnid dollar bills
We both can't leave the six
And shawty's on her own

Lockdown, lockdown with a body like this
Shawty gon' lock with the sound like this
She's a night owl, oh, you're just like me
Tell me, "Pull up," I'm there
But I know you lockdown, lockdown with a body like this
Shawty gon' rock with the sound like this
She's a night owl, oh, you're just like me
Told me, "Pull up," I'm there
Shawty got her friends screamin' out

Fuck a COVID-19
Long as I get to see that body on a beach, oh
In your little two-piece
Tryna see you in the Bahamas, under the seas, oh
You're the one that I need
Chills in your body when I touch you like this, ooh




When I touch you like this
Tell the truth, ain't nobody touch you like this, ooh

Overall Meaning

Roy Woods's "Touch You" is a seductive R&B track that conveys the singer's desire to connect with a woman physically and emotionally during the quarantine period. The song sustains a mellow mood with keyboards, drums, bass, and background harmonies supporting Woods's falsetto crooning. The first verse reveals the singer's longing for inspiration and sexual intimacy, which he plans to achieve by setting up a meeting with his lover. The use of Spanish term "Lil' mamacita" adds to the sensual lyrics and suggests that the woman is of Latinx origin. The line "Picture me, you, and a villa" implies that Woods desires a romantic getaway with his significant other.


The second verse continues to romanticize an idyllic escape from the monotony of quarantine life by mentioning the COVID-19 pandemic's impact. Woods dismisses the virus's severity in his quest for a beach rendezvous with his girl. The bridge alludes to the consequences of the lockdown, such as feeling trapped and confined in one's home, leading to heightened emotions and the desire for connection. Woods tries to reassure the woman that he desires her beyond her physical appearance with the line "Got me spending hundred-dollar bills." The chorus reinforces the idea that Woods aims to satisfy his lover's untouched desires that he claims no one else has accomplished.

People say it about a lot of artists but I do honestly believe Roy is underrated. Dudes got a great instinct for flow and melody.
