You Can Look (But You Can’t Touch)
[Intro]
You can look, but you can't touch
You keep dreaming on the stars above

[Verse 1]
Something in your eyes lets me see right through you
There's no mystery what's on your mind
Something in the way I know must make you crazy
It's a mystery, I don't know why
Get out your best line, take your best shot, baby
You can bet I've heard 'em all before
Don't take it hard when you fall flat on your face
You won't be all alone, down there on the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
‘Cause you can look, but you can't touch
You keep dreaming on the stars above
I can see that you want me so much
But there's just no way that you can call this love (There's just no way that you can call this love)

[Verse 2]
Everywhere I go, I feel your eyes behind me
Tryna see the things that you can't get
I can feel your heat like an X-Ray through me
I can feel you’re close, but you're not in yet
Keep your distance, now, don't come closer
Stay behind the ropes there, where you belong
You can see the garden, but you can't come in the house, babe
You're getting all excited, when you need to say calm
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
‘Cause you can look, but you can't touch
You keep dreaming on the stars above
I can see that you want me so much
But there's just no way that you can call this love (There's just no way that you can call this love)

[Bridge 1]
(This is not infatuation) This is obsession
(This is not facade) It's all about possession
Oh, when I talk about heat, I know what I’m speaking of
But there's just no way that you can call this love

[Bridge 2]
You never see that
I never look your way
When I see you looking at me
The way that you do
When you can't turn away
And you're looking all nervous
With nothing to say

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
‘Cause you can look, but you can't touch
You keep dreaming on the stars above
I can see that you want me so much
But there's just no way that you can call this love
‘Cause you can look, but you can't touch
You keep dreaming on the stars above
I can see that you want me so much
But there's just no way that you can call this love

[Drop-Chorus]
‘Cause you can look, but you can't touch
You keep dreaming on the stars above
I can see that you want me so much
But there's just no way that you can call this love

[Outro]
‘Cause you can look, but you can't touch
