LOVE TOUCH
Writers: Holly Knight/ Mike Chapman/ Gene Black
Oh baby I don’t know why
But somehow I always seem to get tangled up in my pride
Oh baby we’re not that blind
Deep down inside you know this love’s worth one more try
Don’t push it all aside
Cause I wanna be good for you
I didn’t mean to be bad
But darlin’ I’m still the best that you ever had
Just give me a chance to let me show you how much
I wanna give you my love touch love touch
Why can’t I climb your walls and find somewhere to hide
Can’t I knock down your door and drag myself inside
I’ll light your candles baby and maybe I’ll light your life
I wanna feel the breathless end you come to every night
This ever changing love is pushing me too far
I feel the need to reach you right now wherever you are
These empty arms are getting stronger every day
Believe me baby they won’t let you get away
No they won’t let you get away
Cause I wanna be good for you
I didn’t mean to be bad
But darlin’ I’m still the best that you ever had
Just give me a chance to let me show you how much
I wanna give you my love touch love touch
You know it don’t matter who’s right who’s wrong
Think we’re gonna find out if the love is strong
Just give me a chance to win back your trust
I wanna give you my love touch love touch
Ooh you’re gonna get a ooh you’re gonna get a big love touch
Ooh you’re gonna get a ooh you’re gonna get a big love touch

Full Album Title: Storyteller The Complete Anthology/ Boxed Set/ Rod Stewart
‘I recieved a phone call one day from Rod’s management inviting me to their office to meet with Rod. I remember walking into the room and Rod was sitting at a long table in the conference room waiting for me. That was a little nerve-racking, but I came prepared because I knew I would only get one shot with him. I put a cassette on, which basically had all the parts to Love Touch, with the exception of verse lyrics and a bridge, enough for him to say he loved it and wanted to work on it with me. I was stoked !
Although we did get together a few times to write, we just ended up hanging out and having too much fun, and I started getting frustrated. I ended up finishing the song with Mike Chapman and Gene Black, (my guitarist in Device) who came up with a guitar riff that really made the song hooky. Mike produced the track, I played keyboards, Mike Pocaro (Toto) played bass, Gene played the guitars, and I sung the backing vocals. Oddly enough, Rod asked me to sing the backups before he put down his vocal. He made a bit of a cheesy video for it with scenes from Legal Eagles, the movie, but happily it was a huge hit for him’. –HK
