Lyrics

I know I've just gotta get out of this place
I can't stand any more of that mechanical grace
Though you say it's only an industrial squeeze
Looks like luxury, feels like a disease
Give it to me, oh, give it to me
I don't wanna know much about much
Give it to me, oh, give it to me
I need, I need, I need the human touch
Left with just a house to hold, drinking your way to dry dock
It's easy to break up a model citizen living in the state of shock
I just can't believe I am responsible for this
What the makeup hides can't be made up with a kiss
Oh, give it to me, oh, give it to me
I don't wanna know much about much
Give it to me, oh, give it to me
I need, I need, I need the human touch
Oh, oh, oh, when I'm talking in tongues
I go where you lead
I don't make you plead
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I need you
How I'd like to fix her in a picture of rage
How I'd like to catch her when she's acting her age
But when she's lying stretched out on the floor
It's no mystery to me anymore
Oh, give it to me, oh, give it to me
I don't wanna know much about much
Give it to me, oh, give it to me
I need, I need, I need the human
I need, I need, I need the human
I need, I need, I need the human touch
Ow! Ow!
