I love myself
I want you to love me
When I feel down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

You're the one who makes me come runnin'
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around, I'm always laughin'
I want to make you mine

I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I'd get down on my knees, I'd do anything for you

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no, yeah

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I feel down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

I want you
I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself

I touch myself (I don't want)
I touch myself (anybody else)
I touch myself (when I think about you)
I touch myself
I touch myself (I don't want)
I touch myself (anybody else)
I touch myself (when I think about you)
I honestly do
I touch myself (I don't want)
I touch myself (anybody else)
I touch myself (when I think about you)
I honestly do
I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself

I heard this song was a one-hit wonder. Talk about a climax.

Grooooan. ]
Incidentally, it wasn't a one hit wonder. They had several hits in the 80s.

mira_love Obviously depends on the market. Divinyls had many hits in their homeland. This was used for a breast cancer campaign, to encourage women to examine their own breasts, made more poignsant because the singer was a victim of the disease.The meaning is pretty succinctly summed up in the line "When I think about you I touch myself". The person being addresed turns her on, not much to it but certainly a great song and a well deserved international hit.

This song is so much fun to sing along to, especially in the car with all your friends, yelling it at the top of your lungs! Great song- gotta love it!

mira love, this song was NOT a one hit wonder. What about Pleasure and Pain? eh? eh? eh? I love this song...it always makes me laugh, it just has such a light hearted feel to it, and I love the way it's kind of...outrageous...I mean, I was recently at a school dance, and this song was played after we requested it, and everyone just went insane, and the teachers were all really shocked...It's things like that that make this song as awesome as it is...

Ah, pardon me, I'm still a teen and haven't had a chance to listen to the lesser known songs of bands I barely know. Just this song.

Although somewhat of a comical song,it is a lot deeper than given credit fo.Any1 that has being in deep lust over some1 and unable to get that 1 person outa your head can really appreciate this.You constantly crave/obsess over sex with this person,it's like an extreme thirst of the mind.Song can also reflect the early stages of a relationship
