Sometimes When We Touch

Sometimes When We Touch
(Rod Stewart)

You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly then mislead you with a tie
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy keeps me battling with my pride
But through all the insecurity some tenderness survive
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prizefighter still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you and drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly

At times I understand you and I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you and I've watched love pass you by
At times think we're drifters still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister but then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
