Down
in Cleopatra’s Café, I was looking for romance
She
was standing in the spotlight
I went and asked her for a dance
I went and asked her for a dance
She
said “Don’t touch me - touch me gently - and again”
She
said “Don’t touch me - touch me gently - and again”
She
said “I’ll let you jive with me,
I’ll even let you hold my hand
I’ll even let you hold my hand
But
I know you, what you’re thinking, you’re just like every other man”
She
said “Don’t touch me - touch me gently - and again”
She
said “Don’t touch me - touch me gently - and again”
I
was dancing to Madonna, she was rapping Eminem
I
asked the DJ to play “In the Mood”, she wanted “Candle In The Wind”
She
said “Don’t touch me - touch me gently - and again”
She
said “Don’t touch me - touch me gently - and again”
Am
I worthy of you lady, can we be Romeo and Juliet
Don’t
tell me you don’t know me, don’t tell me it’s too early yet
If
I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine the gentle sin is this
My
lips two blushing pilgrims ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender
kiss
She
said don’t touch me, touch me gently, and again
She
said don’t touch me, touch me gently, and again
O
I wanted her so badly she almost had me on my knees
Let
me kiss you and caress you, let me beg you baby please
She
said “Don’t touch me - touch me gently - and again”
She
said “Don’t touch me - touch me gently - and again”
Won’t
you let me take you home with me, o baby stay with me tonight
Let
me woo you with my clichés, let me lull you with my lullabies
She
said “Don’t touch me - touch me gently - and again”
She
said “Don’t touch me - touch me gently - and again”
Down
in Cleopatra’s Café you could literally taste the dust
She
said “Pilgrim lips that they must use in prayer should not be used for lust”
And
then she touched me, touched me gently, and again
She touched me, touched me gently, she touched me again
