[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Girl, ain't no kindness in the face of strangers

Ain't gonna find no miracles here

Well, you can wait on your blessings now, darlin'

I got a deal for you right here

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Share a little of that human touch

Feel a little of that human touch

Feel a little of that human touch

Share a little of that human touch

Feel a little of that human touch

Give you a little of that human touch

Give me a little of that human touch
