Human Touch Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

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
We ain′t gonna find no miracles here
Well, you can wait on your blessings, my darlin'
I got a deal for you right here

I ain't lookin′ for praise 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 asking′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′ve been broken and you've been hurt?
Show me somebody who ain′t
Yeah, I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But, hell, a little touch-up 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 asking′s too much?
I just want to feel you in my arms
And share a little of that human touch


Share a little of that human touch
Feel a little of that human touch in you
Feel a little of that human touch
Share a little of that human touch
I wanna feel a little of that human touch
Give you a little of that human touch of me
Give me a little of that human touch

Hey now
Oh, God
Hey-hey, my

Share a little of that human touch
Get a little of that human touch
Get a little of that human touch
Feel a little of that human touch
Get a little of that human touch
(Give me a little of that human touch)

Ooh-hoo (give me a little of that human touch)
Hey now
