paroles de chanson If You Want To Feel - Live - Harry Chapin

Oh God, they got you gun shy
You know your skin′s as cold as ice
Your eyes are double filtered babe
You're so afraid to be nice

There′s no way you're ready
To let your defenses down
Though I won't come on heavy
There is a lesson that I′ve found

If you try to look but you don′t touch
Then you won't touch but you′ll never feel
And if you don't feel, you′ll never cry
And if you don't cry, then you′ll never heal

There are lessons to life
That the lovers got to learn
There are corners out there
You know they're waitin' somewhere
And you′ve got to be prepared to turn

There are callouses that come
That the lovers got to earn
In the years of your youth
You can′t be fire proof
You know you've got to get burned

If you try to look but you don′t touch
Then you won't touch but you′ll never feel
And if you don't feel, you′ll never cry
And if you don't cry, then you'll never heal

Can′t you feel excitement
Feel it welling up inside
What makes you think emotion
Is something that you hide

Yes, I might take advantage
But I′ll be gentle if I do
And I'll be here in the morning
Still lookin′ at you

There are lessons to life
That the lovers got to learn
There are corners out there
You know they're waitin′ somewhere
And you've got to be prepared to turn

There are callouses that come
That the lovers got to earn
In the years of your youth
You can′t be fire proof
You know you've got to get burned

If you try to look but you don't touch
Then you won′t touch but you′ll never feel
And if you don't feel, you′ll never cry
And if you don't cry, then you′ll never heal

If you want to heal babe
Oh, you know you got to feel babe
Oh, don't you want to feel it babe
Feel it babe, feel it babe
Don′t you want to feel it babe
