Close but no cigar?...

Is 29 Human Touch by Bruce Springsteen?  Just a guess because the actual lyric from Human Touch is "I just want something to hold onto."

Written By: Indy Gent on 04/10/03 at 02:42 p.m.

Sorry, hannahbear, that is incorrect! :(
The title of this song has a body part in it, and is sung by a legendary female singer who was part of a 60s Motown group.
