Verse 1:
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
Turned my whole world upside down
Chorus:
Touch me once and you’ll know it’s true
I could never lie to you
We may not have the power to make it last forever
But together we’ll make it through

We were so young and naive together
Trying hard to stand our ground
We were always so intense together
Living our lives without a sound
Chorus:
Touch me once and you’ll know it’s true
I could never lie to you
We may not have the power to make it last forever
But together we’ll make it through
Bridge:
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Chorus:
Touch me once and you’ll know it’s true
I could never lie to you
We may not have the power to make it last forever
But together we’ll make it through
