If You Touch Me

(Album: Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man - 1974)

Well, she packed my bags and kicked me out
When we were having bad times
Looking back I can see it was over nothing
Since then there's been too much red wine
And women messing up my mind.

But nothing can compare with baby's loving
At two o'clock this morning I made up my mind
I'm gonna go back home to my sweet baby
I'm looking though the window at the city for the last time.

Lord knows this life, it'll drive me crazy
Well, I walked out on the highway caught a semi headed home
I hope she'll take me back oh Lord I'm praying
Now I'm standing at the front door hoping I'll find her all alone.

Then I heard her sweet voice saying
And she said if you touch me you've got to love me
And if you love me you'll have to stay with me forever
And I'll forgive you and love will be like it should be.

So if you touch me you've got to love me.
If you touch me you've got to love me...
