If You Want To Feel

                                  Oh God they got you gun shy

You know your skin's as cold as ice

Your eyes are double filtered babe

You're so afraid to be nice

There's no way you're ready

To let your defenses down

Though I won't come on heavy

There is a lesson that I've found



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



There are lessons to life

That the lovers got to learn

There are corners out there

You know they're waitin' somewhere

And you've got to be prepared to turn

There are callouses that come

That the lovers got to earn

In the years of your youth

You can't be fire proof

You know you've got to get burned



Can't you feel excitement

Feel it welling up inside

What makes you think emotion

Is 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
