Don't Touch Me
Emotional Pleas and Love's Conditions: Don't Touch Me
Lyrics
Our hand is like a torch each time you touch me
Physical contact with you is intense and passionate, like a torch.
That look that's in your eyes pulls me apart
The expression in your eyes is emotionally overwhelming and causes inner turmoil.
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't offer the prospect of heavenly experiences if I'm not allowed to be a part of it.
Don't touch me if you don't love me, sweetheart.
Resist touching me if your love for me is insincere, dear.
Your kiss is like a drink, oh, when I'm thirsty
Your kisses are like a refreshing drink, especially when I yearn for them.
Oh, and I'm thirsty for you with all my heart
I long for you with deep emotional commitment.
But don't love me then act as though we've never kissed
Do not express love and then pretend our shared kisses mean nothing.
Don't touch me if you don't love me, sweetheart.
Refrain from physical contact if your love for me is not genuine.
Don't give me something, oh, that you might take away
Do not give me something that you might later take away.
To have you then lose you it wouldn't be smart on my part
Having you and then losing you would not be a wise choice on my part.
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Similar to Line 3, reiterating the desire to be included in heavenly experiences.
Don't touch me if you don't love me, sweetheart.
A repetition emphasizing not to touch if love is absent.
No, don't give me something, Lord, that you might take away
Repetition of Line 11, cautioning against receiving something only to lose it later.
To have you then lose you it wouldn't be smart on my part
Repetition of Line 12, emphasizing the potential regret of losing the person.
Don't open the door to heaven, honey, if I can't come in
Reiteration of not being able to participate in heavenly joys without reciprocated love.
And don't touch me if you don't love me, sweetheart.
Repetition emphasizing the significance of genuine love before physical contact.
Don't touch me if you don't love me, sweetheart
A final plea not to engage physically without true love.
