About The Song
Touch Me is a song by the iconic rock band, The Doors. Released in 1969 as part of their album The Soft Parade, the track represents a departure from the band’s earlier psychedelic sound and ventures into a more pop-oriented territory. Written by guitarist Robby Krieger, “Touch Me” is notable for its incorporation of brass and string arrangements, a sonic choice that was both innovative and controversial at the time.
The song’s lyrics, while maintaining the poetic and evocative style associated with The Doors, are more direct and sensual than their previous work. Jim Morrison’s vocals are delivered with a raw intensity, contrasting the lush orchestration. “Touch Me” became a moderate hit, reaching the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and remains a popular track in the band’s repertoire.

Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, babe
Can’t you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won’t you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
Now, I’m going to love you
‘Til the heavens stop the rain
I’m going to love you
‘Til the stars fall from the sky
For you and I
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, babe
Can’t you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won’t you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
Now, I’m going to love you
‘Til the heavens stop the rain
I’m going to love you
‘Til the stars fall from the sky
For you and I
I’m going to love you
‘Til the heavens stop the rain
I’m going to love you
‘Til the stars fall from the sky
For you and I
Stronger than dirt
