Again, another song has plagued me since 1985. I've searched until the cows come home, but no cows. Here goes....


When the clock on the wall says it’s quarter to four
        ?                  in my head. Stare at the floor
And the silent cries in the heat of the night
Just don’t bring her til the morning light
When that hurt takes hold, it’s a hell of a grip
You know you’re headed for another trip
Down the road your house, there’s nobody home
They don’t  wonder why I’m all alone

I’m not askin’ , I’m not askin’ for much, a crush, a pretty face
I’m not askin’, I’m not askin’ for much
I need a woman’s touch. I need a woman’s touch
I need a woman’s touch. I need a woman’s touch

When this town looks cold to a stranger tonight
?                          not up for the fight
Time bomb about to explode
Internal system’s gonna overload
When the heat takes hold, it’s under control
The special clock going to take it’s toll
When tick tick tock of the clock on the wall
Sudden death is going to see me fall

I’m not askin’ , I’m not askin’ for much, a crush, a pretty face
I’m not askin’, I’m not askin’ for much
I need a woman’s touch. I need a woman’s touch.
I need a woman’s touch. I need a woman’s touch.

(Solo)

When this town looks cold to a stranger tonight
?                              not  up for the fight
When the silent cries in the heat of the night
Just don’t bring her til the morning light
When the hurt takes hold ,it’s under control
Special clock is going to take it’s toll
Tick tick tock of the clock on the wall
Sudden death is going to see me fall

I’m not askin’ , I’m not askin’ for much, a crush, a pretty face
I’m not askin’, I’m not askin’ for much
I need a woman’s touch.

uuugh!!!! I know this but I can't come up with it right now. It will come to me.

A guy named Toby Keith made a song titled A WOMAN'S TOUCH,  could that be the one? :)

Tush by ZZ Top  ::)

NO  NO  NO  THAT GOES    I BEEN UP I BEEN DOWN TAKE MY WORD I BEEN ROUND  I SAID LORD TAKE ME DOWN TOWN IM JUST LOOKIN FOR SOME TUSH

I'd say that it's Rick Springfield's 'The Human Touch', but the lyrics didn't include anything about a woman's touch, just "Everybody needs the human touch" and "We all need the human touch".

Human Touch lyrics
You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end what you don’t surrender
Well the world just strips away
Girl, ain’t no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain’t gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blesses my darling
I got a deal for you right here
I ain’t looking for praise or pity
I ain’t coming ’round searching for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch

Ain’t no mercy on the streets of this town
Ain’t no bread from heavenly skies
Ain’t nobody drawing wine from this blood
It’s just you and me tonight
Tell me, in a world without pity
Do you think what I’m askin’s too much
I just want something to hold on to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch

Oh girl that feeling of safety that you prize
Well it comes at a hard hard price
You can’t shut off the risk and the pain
Without losing the love that remains
We’re all riders on this train

So you’ve been broken and you’ve been hurt
Show me somebody who ain’t
Yeah, I know I ain’t nobody’s bargain
But, hell, a little touch up and a little paint...
You might need something to hold on to
When all the answers, they don’t amount to much
Somebody that you could just to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Baby, in a world without pity
Do you think what I’m askin’s too much
I just want to feel you in my arms
Share a little of that human touch
Feel a little of that human touch
Give me a little of that human touch

Human Touch lyrics
You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end what you don’t surrender
Well the world just strips away
Girl, ain’t no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain’t gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blesses my darling

Human Touch maybe.....but not Rick Springfield's Human Touch  ;)
