If You Want To Feel

[Intro] [Verse 1] Oh God they got you gun shy You know your skin’s as cold as ice Your eyes are double filtered babe Your so afraid to be nice [Verse 2] There’s no way you’re ready   To let your defenses down No I won’t come on heavy There is a lesson that I found [Chorus] If you try to look but you don’t touch Then you won’t touch but you’ll never feel And if you don’t feel you’ll never cry And if you don’t cry then you’ll never heal [Verse 3] There are lessons to life That the lover’s got to learn There are corners out there you know they’re waitin’ somewhere And you got to be prepared to turn There are calluses that come   That the lover’s got to earn In the years of your youth you can’t be fire proof You know you got to get burned   [Chorus] And if you try to look but you don’t touch Then you won’t touch but you’ll never feel And if you don’t feel you’ll never cry And if you don’t cry then you’ll never heal [Verse 4] Can’t you feel the excitement Feel it welling up inside What makes you think emotions Are something that you hide Yes I might take advantage But I’ll be gentle if I do And I’ll be here in the morning Still lookin’ at you [Verse 5] There are lessons to life   That the lover’s got to learn There are corners out there you know they’re waitin’ somewhere And you got to be prepared to turn There are calluses that come   That the lover’s got to earn In the years of your youth you can’t be fire proof You know you got to get burned [Chorus] And if you try to look but you don’t touch Then you won’t touch but you’ll never feel And if you don’t feel you’ll never cry And if you don’t cry then you’ll never heal [Verse 6] If you want to heal babe Oh you know you got to feel it babe Oh don’t you want to feel it babe Feel it babe... Oh God they got you gun shy You know your skin’s as cold as ice Your eyes are double filtered babe Your so afraid to be nice [Verse 7] There’s no way you’re ready   To let your defenses down No I won’t come on heavy There is a lesson that I found [Chorus] If you try to look but you don’t touch Then you won’t touch but you’ll never feel And if you don’t feel you’ll never cry And if you don’t cry then you’ll never heal [Verse 8] There are lessons to life That the lover’s got to learn There are corners out there you know they’re waitin’ somewhere And you got to be prepared to turn There are calluses that come   That the lover’s got to earn In the years of your youth you can’t be fire proof You know you got to get burned   [Chorus] And if you try to look but you don’t touch Then you won’t touch but you’ll never feel And if you don’t feel you’ll never cry And if you don’t cry then you’ll never heal [Verse 9] Can’t you feel the excitement Feel it welling up inside What makes you think emotions Are something that you hide Yes I might take advantage But I’ll be gentle if I do And I’ll be here in the morning Still lookin’ at you [Verse 10] There are lessons to life   That the lover’s got to learn There are corners out there you know they’re waitin’ somewhere And you got to be prepared to turn There are calluses that come   That the lover’s got to earn In the years of your youth you can’t be fire proof You know you got to get burned [Chorus] And if you try to look but you don’t touch Then you won’t touch but you’ll never feel And if you don’t feel you’ll never cry And if you don’t cry then you’ll never heal If you want to heal babe Oh you know you got to feel it babe Oh don’t you want to feel it babe Feel it babe...
