Lyrics


Soft Touch / Raw Nerve

Have I got a soft touch

Have I got a soft touch

Is my radar that off

Is my radar that off


I'm thinking if you're sinking

Then I'll drown

I've got a confession

Your depression will take me down


Am I on the right track

Am I on the right track

Have I picked a bad time

Have I picked a bad time


It's seeming that you're dreaming through my eyes

Why protest when your success is my prize

Oh brother, give me a helping hand

Oh brother, tell me you understand


Have I hit a raw nerve

Have I hit a raw nerve

Have I got a soft touch

Have I got a soft touch


I'm thinking if you're sinking

Then I'll drown

I've got a suspicion that your position is unsound

Oh brother, give me a helping hand


Oh brother, tell me you understand

Have I hit a raw nerve

Have I hit a raw nerve

Have I got a soft touch


Have I got a soft touch
