Sometimes When We Touch

作詞：Dan Hill
作曲：Barry Mann

You ask me if I love you
and I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
in what you say or do
I'm only just beginning
to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
the honesty's too much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all it's strategy
leaves me battling with my pride
But through all the insecurity
some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
the honesty's too much

and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you
and drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
and hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
and I know how hard you try
I watched while love commands you
and I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
still searching for a friend
a brother or a sister
but then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
the honesty's too much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold ya till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
Subsides

[中譯]

你問我愛不愛你
我答不出來
我寧可誠實的傷害你
也不願用謊言來誤導你
對你的所作所為，我有何資格批評
我才剛開始要認識真實的你

當我倆接觸時
未免過於真誠
我不得不閉上雙眼逃避
我想擁抱著你到死
直到我倆崩潰落淚
我要擁抱你，直到我內心的恐懼平息

羅曼史與所有的策略
令我與自尊交戰
但經過不安的感覺
尚存一絲溫柔
我只是另一位作者
陷入了真理
一位猶豫的職業拳擊手
在歲月中掙扎

有時我想控制你
令你臣服屈膝
有時我想突破現狀
無止盡的擁抱你

有時我了解
明白你多麼努力的嘗試
我看到愛支使著你
也看到愛和你擦身而過
有時，我覺得我倆是漂流者
依然在尋找朋友、兄弟或姊妹
但熱情又重新燃起
