You don't want to fall in love with me, pretty girl
I don't want to bring you down to my lonely world
Turn and walk away while you still have your heart
Turn away before this love tears us apart

'Cause everything I touch turns to tears
Every dream I dream ends up dyin'
Everything I touch turns to tears
And I don't wanta see you cryin'

Even though I long to hold you close in the night
Hold you close and never let you out of my sight
Leave me while our lips have nothing to forget
Oh, walk away and make believe we never met

'Cause everything I touch turns to tears
Every dream I dream ends up dyin'
Everything I touch turns to tears
And I don't wanta see you cryin'

Oh-oh, darlin', can't you see
I'd bring you misery, leave me while you're still free
Go now and don't be kind
Don't make me change my mind

'Cause  everything I touch turns to tears
Everything I touch turns to tears
Everything I touch turns to tears
Everything I touch turns to tears
Everything I touch turns to tears
Everything I touch turns to tears
Everything I touch ......... FADE
