If You Can Touch Her At All

(album: Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes? - 1985)

Funny how a woman can come on so wild and free
Yet insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
And stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
And just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold

One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
I'd rather have one than none but I'm flesh and bone
Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all
She can be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all

But right or wrong a woman can own any man
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
Then leave him as weary and weak as a wet newborn child
Fighting to get his first breath and open his eyes

One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
But I'd rather have one than none as I'm flesh and bone
Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all
She can be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all

One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
Ohh, but I'd rather have one than none as I'm flesh and bone
