Human Touch MTV Plugged by Bruce Springsteen Lyrics
[Verse]
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]
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'
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]
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 to feel you in my arms
And share a little of that human touch
Share a little of that human touch
[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
[Verse]
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
Yeah, a little touchup 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
[Outro]
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
Feel a little of that human touch
Share a little of that human touch
Feel a little of that human touch
Give me a little of that human touch
Give you a little of that human touch
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]
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'
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]
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 to feel you in my arms
And share a little of that human touch
Share a little of that human touch
[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

And a little of that human touch
[Outro]
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
Feel a little of that human touch
Share a little of that human touch
Feel a little of that human touch
Give me a little of that human touch
Give you a little of that human touch
