Touch
Tough Love Arlissa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought you were a habit I could break
Tried my best to shake you loose
Convinced myself that we were a mistake
Always tryna find a new excuse

To hold myself back, put the phone down
Stop myself from calling
'Cause I know what I'd say If I got through

"Just called to say hi", try to act fine
You know I'd be lying
Time that I start telling the truth

I just want your touch
Oh, I just want your

I just want your touch all day
And all through the night, the truth is that
I just want your touch all day
And all through the night, the truth is that
I just want your touch
Your touch
I just want your touch all day
And all through the night, the truth is that
I just want your touch

Maybe it's the bridges I have burned
The lessons I have learned from love
Make me realize I don't wanna wait
Done with playing safe, 'cause I don't wanna

Hold myself back, put the phone down
Stop myself from calling
'Cause I know what I'd say if I got through
"Just called to say hi", try to act fine
You know I'd be lying
Time that I start telling the truth

I just want your touch all day
And all through the night, the truth is that
I just want your touch all day
And all through the night, the truth is that
I just want your touch
Your touch
I just want your touch all day
And all through the night, the truth is that
I just want your touch, oh

I just want your, I just want your, I just want your, I just want your
I just want your touch all day
And all through the night, the truth is that
I just want your touch all day
And all through the night, the truth is that
I just want your touch
Your touch
I just want your touch all day

And all through the night, the truth is that
I just want your touch
