[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, darlin'
I got a deal for you right here

[Chorus 1]
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 2]
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
[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 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 3]
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 2]
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
