About Love Touch

"Love Touch" is a song performed by Rod Stewart and written by Gene Black, Holly Knight and Mike Chapman. It was released as a single in 1986 and peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was featured in the end credits of the Robert Redford romantic comedy, Legal Eagles, hence it is often listed with the subtitle "Theme from Legal Eagles" (it does not appear on the film's soundtrack album). It does, however, appear on Stewart's album, Every Beat of My Heart. The song is a plea from someone who has been fighting with his lover, but is apologizing and asking for another chance to "be good. " Although it is among Stewart's most successful songs, he rarely performs "Love Touch" in concert. Stewart holds a low opinion of the song's lyrics, calling it "one of the silliest songs I've ever recorded," in the liner notes of Encore: The Very Best of Rod Stewart Volume 2.

Oh, baby, I don't know why
But somehow I always seem to
Get tangled up in my pride
But oh, baby, we're not that blind
Deep down inside you know
This love's worth one more try
Don't push it all aside

'Cause I want to be good for you 
I didn't mean to be bad
But darling I'm still the best
That you ever had
Just give me a chance
To let me show you how much
I want to give you my love touch 
Love touch

Why can't I climb your walls
And find somewhere to hide
Can't I knock down your door
And drag myself inside
I'll light your candles baby
And maybe I'll light your life
I want to feel the breathless end
You come to every night
This ever changing love
Is pushing me too far
I feel the need to reach you
Right now wherever you are
These empty arms are getting stronger

Every day
Believe me baby
They won't let you get away
No, they won't let you get away

'Cause I want to be good for you
I didn't mean to be bad
But darlin I'm still the best
That you ever had
Just give me a chance
To let me show you how much
I want to give you my love touch 
Love touch

You know it don't matter
Who's right who's wrong
Think we're gonna find out
If the love is strong
Just give me a chance
To win back your trust
I want to give you my love touch 
Love touch
(Oh you're gonna get a, oh you're gonna get a big love touch)
