Sometimes When We Touch Lyrics by Barry Manilow
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie

And who am I to judge you
In what you say or do
I'm only just beginning
To see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes
And hide
I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance's an honest strategy
Leaves me grappling with my pride
But through the years insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize-fighter
Still trapped within my youth

At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you try
I've watched whil love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again....
You ask me if I love you   And I choke on my reply   I'd rather hurt you honestly   Than mislead you with a lie      And who am I to judge you   In what you say or do   I'm only just beginning   To see the real you      And sometimes when we touch   The honesty's too much   And I have to close my eyes   And hide   I wanna hold you till I die   Till we both break down and cry   I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides      Romance's an honest strategy   Leaves me grappling with my pride   But through the years insecurity   Some tenderness survives   I'm just another writer   Still trapped within my truth   A hesitant prize-fighter   Still trapped within my youth      At times I'd like to break you   And drive you to your knees   At times I'd like to break through   And hold you endlessly   At times I understand you   And I know how hard you try   I've watched whil love commands you   And I've watched love pass you by   At times I think we're drifters   Still searching for a friend   A brother or a sister   But then the passion flares again....
