Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love

Love has been on my mind for some time now
But you've been the missing link
Of all that whats happened all the stuff made me
Think that love is not for kids

All I want is your touch, so come a little closer
What's his memory, open up your heart and let me in
Like the bird in the sky love has got me flying in
And the stars in the night, beautiful

Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love

Music will light the fires of romance
So that must be forever
You got a friend and a lover someone does discorver
That just a touch of love is all I need

All I want is your touch, so come a little closer
What's his memory, open up your heart and let me in
Like the bird in the sky love has got me flying in
And the stars in the night, beautiful

Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love

Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love

Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love
Just a touch of love, just a touch of love

I want just a touch of your love
Not too much, just a touch
So what do you say, are you gonna give it to me?
Give it to me?

All I need is just a touch of your love
A touch of your love, come on
A touch of your love, oh yeah
All I need is a touch of your love
All I want is a touch of your love

Give me just a touch
All I need is give me just a touch of love, yeah
Touch

Just a touch of love, just a touch of love

C+C Music Factory

David Cole and Robert Civilles met while both working at a New York underground club. Before forming C & C Music Factory, they were primarily remixers, co-writers, producers and artist managers – having worked with Mariah Carey, Chaka Khan, Fleetwood Mac, Grace Jones, Seduction and others.

Cole & Civilles decided to launch their own music project with an ever-changing cast of vocalists. When an artist they were managing turned down the song “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)”, the duo decided to use it as their first single. They recruited a janitor from Quad Recording Studio who was learning to become an assistant engineer named Freedom Williams to perform the raps, and hired ex-Weather Girls singer Martha Wash for the female vocals – but credited them to Zelma Davis. Davis also appeared in the song’s video. Wash later sued for being uncredited in the song and its video.

The song became an international smash, reaching the top 5 in nine countries (taking the top position in five of them). Their debut album was released a month after the single and it reached #2 in the US, #8 in the UK and the top 30 in six other countries.
