Paul Kelly - Touchy Babe lyrics

Touchy babe With your mending in the corner Now your head is halfway turning To the shadow at the door In he walks Puts a log upon the fire Now his flickering desire Lights a match behind your eyes A simple look Is a book to a touchy babe Touchy babe you push the needle to distortion You turn his touch into extortion, you turn his hold into a vice Touchy babe never bite the hand that's feeding Never know when you'll be needing something more than just advice A simple look Is a book to a touchy babe Touchy babe, when I'm warm she shivers Touchy babe, next to her I'm all thumbs Touchy babe, I make all the wrong moves Like a schoolboy out of line Touchy babe, you like to come a little closer? You turn around and say "No Sir" and then you think about it twice Touchy babe never bite the hand that's feeding Never know when you'll be needing something more than just advice A simple look Is a book to a touchy babe A simple look Is a book to a touchy babe
