If you let me make love to you Then why can't I touch you? If you let me make love to you Then why can't I touch you? I'm not saying I want to change you I don't want to rearrange you If you let me make love to you Then why can't I touch you? If you let me make love to you Then why can't I touch you? From the very first moment I saw you It's been a different world From the very first moment I saw you It's been such a different world I seem to be a little bit stronger Each moment seems just a little bit Little bit longer Missing links and little kinks Have never been found and uncurled But you're still the same You're like a frozen flame Well it sure seems a shame You let me make love to you But you won't let me touch you When I leave you I'm going someplace That I've never been before When I leave you I'm going someplace That I've never been before Why don't you reach out and touch me Reach out and touch me If you let me make love to you Then why can't I touch you? If you let me make love to you Then why can't I touch you?
