Don't Wanna Be Touched

from If That Isn't Love by Caryl Archer

/

lyrics

I don’t wanna be touched
I can tell you all my secrets
But please don’t touch me
If you wanna know my dreams
You can see
But I don’t wanna be
Touched
Maybe ever again

I don’t wanna be touched
If all you want is information
I’ll provide it freely
If you need communication
I can talk
But I don’t wanna be
Touched
Maybe never again
Again
Again
Again

I don’t wanna be known
I don’t wanna be pursued
All my insides perused
And then used up again
I don’t wanna go backwards; the mishaps, relapses
All my enemies exhumed
An uprooting of what’s bloomed
And recovered
To make room for you as a lover
(If it’s all the same to you)

Words are never enough
You can gimme all your reasons
But they still won’t reach me
And explain to me at length
You’re the exception and you’re worthy
Touched
A little nerve with you there?
You say I’m being unfair
But why should I care
I don’t care
I don’t care

(If it’s all the same to you)
I don’t think I’ll bother

And now
you feel you’ve earned your access to my soul
You’ve theorised your love can make me whole
Oh! No…
I’ll only show you a shell
Though I’m presenting it well
So you’d never tell
There’s no alarm bell
