Sometimes When We Touch Lyrics by Rod Stewart

Sometimes When We Touch

[barry mann, dan hill]

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 want to hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all it�s strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through all the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I�m just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth

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

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 watched while 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

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