This song is about a very, very special situation in my past.
All of a sudden I faced a reality of a real need for someone that I've lost.
So this is for her.
I'm reaching out for your love.
Won't you touch me, babe?
I'm reaching out for your love.
Please touch me, babe.
All my life, a star for love.
But behind my mask of pride, Lord, I'd hide it from the ones I truly loved.
Afraid to let go, I just suffered from within.
And just when I was in need of a real true friend, girl, I looked around.
Lord, you were gone.
Suddenly I felt all alone.
And now I find that I'm reaching out for your love.
Won't you touch me, babe?
I'm reaching out for your love.
Please touch me, babe.
All my life, I've played this game before.
But now that I'm in need of sharing with someone, I'm reaching out to you.
Removing my mask of pride.
Oh, and as I'm kneeling right here by your side, I'm begging you to stay.
Because I can't make it on my own.
Oh, honey, please don't deny me.
Oh, no.
Because I'm reaching out for your love.
Won't you touch me, babe?
I'm reaching out for your love.
Please touch me, babe.
Oh, I know I still love you, baby.
So, honey, please don't deny me.
No, no, no.
Because I'm reaching out for your love.
Please touch me, baby.
Oh, I'm just standing here reaching out.
Reaching out for your love.
Reaching out for your love.
Begging you to touch me, babe.
Oh, I'm reaching out for your love.
Oh, touch me, babe.
