Human Touch

(album: Alanis - 1991)

Give me what I'm asking for
Stop bringing me down or I'll slam the door
You're getting out of line with the Beverly Boys
You start making the moves, they start making the noise

You know you're not getting lucky living the life
Because you're moving to the jungle and paying the price
You're living right along with the new Brady Bunch
Have your people call my people and let's do lunch

Reaction to the action
There's more to me than human flesh
I've had enough distractions
I need some tenderness

Human touch
I gotta know it's real
I'm tired of people selling their sex appeal
Human touch
I need human love
No imitations of, oh baby

A bird in the bush is worth two in the street
You know the kind of people never want to meet
You're sitting really pretty in your swimming pool
With your rock and roll tan, you keep thinking you're cool

You know you can't reach Jesus on your portable phone
He ain't speaking to the people in their Hollywood homes
With a toot in your snoot and your loot to boot
You don't even give a hoot about the minds you pollute

Looking for deceptions
There's more to me than human flesh
I'm finding new directions
I need some tenderness

Human touch
I gotta know it's real
I'm tired of people selling their sex appeal
Human touch
I need human love
No imitations of, oh baby

I'm looking for the real thing
There's more to me than human flesh
I'm gonna stop at nothing

Human touch
I gotta know it's real
I'm tired of people selling their sex appeal
Human touch
I need human love
No imitations of, oh baby

Human touch
I gotta know it's real
I'm tired of people selling their sex appeal
Human touch
I need human love
No imitations of, oh baby

You can't reach Alanis on her portable phone
It'll be ringing off the hook 'cause there's nobody home
Cut her some slack, yeah, or she won't be back
Without the human touch
