Human Touch Lyrics
You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end what don't surrender
Well the world just strips away
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'
But I got a deal for you right here
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
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 askin'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 been broken and you been hurt
Show me somebody who ain't
Yeah I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But hell a little touchup
And a litte 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 askin's too much ?
I just want to feel you in my arms
And share a little of that human touch...
Meaning of Human Touch
“Human Touch” captures a raw sense of disillusionment and the desperate need for connection amidst a harsh, uncaring world. Springsteen portrays a weary soul yearning for simple human contact – “a little of that human touch” – acknowledging the absence of miracles or divine intervention in a town devoid of kindness and hope. The lyrics express frustration with reliance on prayers or pity, instead seeking genuine conversation and comfort. Despite recognizing the inherent risks and pain associated with love, he’s willing to accept a “touchup,” suggesting a vulnerability and desire for solace. Ultimately, the song is a poignant plea for empathy and understanding, highlighting the shared human experience – “we're all riders on this train” – and the fundamental need for connection when faced with life’s inevitable struggles and disappointments.
