Lyrics:
Reaching out for your love
Wont you touch me baby
I'm reaching out for your love

Please touch me baby

All my life, I've starved 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 real true friend
Girl I looked around, oh and you were gone

Suddenly I felt all alone
And now I find that I'm?

Reaching out for your love
Wont you touch me baby
I'm reaching out for your love

Please touch me baby

All my life, I've played this game for fun

Oh, 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 begging you to stay

Cause I cant make it on my own
Oh, honey please don't deny me
Cause I'm?

Reaching out for your love
Won't you touch me baby

I'm reaching out for your love
Please touch me baby

Oh, I know I still love you baby
So honey please don't deny me?
I'm?

Reaching out for your love
Wont you touch me baby

I'm reaching out for your love
Please touch me baby
