Human Touch Lyrics

Everybody's talking to computers,
They're all dancing to a drum machine
I know I'm living on the outside
Scared of getting caught between
I'm so cool and calculated alone in the modern world
uh huh

But Sally had a hard time holding back
The alley to her heart is a beaten track
She's got the love monkey riding on her back
You want love I got it, come on girl

We all need the Human Touch
We all need the Human Touch
I need it the Human Touch
We all need the Human Touch
We all need it, and I need it too

You know, I got my walls, Sally calls them prison cells
Sometimes I need protection, I got the chains
I got the warning bells
I sit so smug and isolated alone in the modern world
uh huh

But Sally has a hard time holding back
The alley to her heart is a beaten track
She's never out of love, yeah she's got the knack
You've got love I want it, come on girl

We all need the Human Touch
We all need the Human Touch
I need it the Human Touch
We all need the Human Touch
We all need it, and I need it too

Human Touch
Human Touch
Human Touch
Human Touch

I'm so scared and isolated in the modern world

We all need
We all need the Human Touch
We all need the Human Touch
We all need the Human Touch
I need it the Human Touch
We all need The Human Touch
I need it the Human Touch
We all need it, and I need it too

Everybody's talking to computers, 
They're all dancing to a drum machine 
I know I'm living on the outside 
Scared of getting caught between 
I'm so cool and calculated alone in the modern world
uh huh

But Sally had a hard time holding back 
The alley to her heart is a beaten track 
She's got the love monkey riding on her back
You want love I got it, come on girl

We all need the Human Touch 
We all need the Human Touch
I need it the Human Touch
We all need the Human Touch
We all need it, and I need it too

You know, I got my walls, Sally calls them prison cells 
Sometimes I need protection, I got the chains 
I got the warning bells 
I sit so smug and isolated alone in the modern world

But Sally has a hard time holding back 
The alley to her heart is a beaten track 
She's never out of love, yeah she's got the knack 
You've got love I want it, come on girl

We all need the Human Touch 
We all need the Human Touch
I need it the Human Touch
We all need the Human Touch
We all need it, and I need it too

I'm so scared and isolated in the modern world

We all need 
We all need the Human Touch
We all need the Human Touch
We all need the Human Touch

We all need The Human Touch
I need it the Human Touch
We all need it, and I need it too

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I used to call Rick Springfield "The Genius" because he played generic rock with real feeling. Like the song says, its about feeling scared and isolated in the modern world.
