If You Want To Feel Lyrics - 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
