Touch
Susan Sarandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd only ever kissed before (you mean she?) (uh-huh)
I thought there's no use getting into heavy petting
It only leads to trouble and seat-wetting
Now all I want to know is how to go
I've tasted blood and I want more (more, more, more)
I'll put up no resistance, I want to stay the distance
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me
Creature of the night
Then if anything grows while you pose
I'll oil you up and rub you down (down, down, down)
And that's just one small fraction of the main attraction
You need a friendly hand and I need action
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me
Creature of the night
(Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me) (I wanna be dirty)
(Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me)
(Creature of the night)
Oh, touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me
Creature of the night
(Creature of the night)
(Creature of the night?)
(Creature of the night)
(Creature of the night)
(Creature of the night)
(Creature of the night)
(Creature of the night)
The song “Toucha-Toucha-Toucha-Touch Me” from the musical “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is performed by Susan Sarandon’s character Janet Weiss. In this song, Janet expresses her sexual desires and cravings for exploration with the “creature of the night”. She states that she is now ready to move beyond just kissing and heavy petting, and wants to experience something more. She is not afraid to get her hands dirty and explore her sexuality to the fullest.
The lyrics here are quite explicit as Susan Sarandon sings “Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me I wanna be dirty, thrill me, chill me, fulfill me creature of the night”. The “creature of the night” is a reference to Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the main character of the musical who is a transvestite from Transylvania. The line “If anything grows while you pose, I’ll oil you up and rub you down” is a sexual reference to the act of masturbation. The song is a bold exploration of female sexuality and the desire to venture into the unknown.
