You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end what you don´t surrender
Well the world just strips away

Girl ain´t no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain´t gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blessings my darlin´
But I got a deal for you right here

I ain´t lookin´ for prayers or pity
I ain´t comin´ ´round searchin´ for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch

Ain´t no mercy on the streets of this town
Ain´t no bread from heavenly skies
Ain´t nobody drawin´ wine from this blood
It´s just you and me tonight

Tell me in a world without pity
Do you think what I´m askin´s too much?
I just want something to hold on to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch

Oh girl that feeling of safety you prize
Well it comes with a hard hard price
You can´t shut off the risk and the pain
Without losin´ the love that remains
We´re all riders on this train

So you been broken and you been hurt
Show me somebody who ain´t
Yeah I know I ain´t nobody´s bargain
But hell a little touchup
And a little paint...

You might need somethin´ to hold on to
When all the answers they don´t amount to much
Somebody that you can just talk to
And a little of that human touch

Baby in a world without pity
Do you think what I´m askin´s too much?
I just want to feel you in my arms
And share a little of that human touch...
