[Verse 1]
So beauty's only skin deep, baby
But when you touch me, I don't care
All I know, when you're in deep, baby
I just want to keep you there

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't control my needing
You're all I hoped you'd be
I'm breathless from this feeling
This need's controlling me

[Chorus]
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh, it must be bad

[Verse 2]
And every time I feel I'm winning
I quickly start to lose my head
Just one touch and it's soon beginning
You make a temple of my bed

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't control my needing
You're all I hoped you'd be
I'm breathless from this feeling
This need's controlling me

[Chorus]
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh, it must be bad
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh, it must be bad

[Bridge]
Is it wrong? Don't know, just let it go
Can't say it's right, too weak to fight
My guilt is free when you're with me
Don't think I should, but it feels so good

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't control my needing
You're all I hoped you'd be
I'm breathless from this feeling
This need's controlling me

[Chorus]
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh, it must be bad
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh, it must be bad

[Outro]
The softer the touch (The softer the touch)
The sweeter the kiss (The sweeter the kiss)
The slower the hand (The slower the hand)
It feels so good
Oh, it must be bad
Must be bad
The softer the touch (yeah yeah must be bad)
The sweeter the kiss
The slower the hand
It feels so good
Oh, it must be bad

Atomic Kitten are an English girl group formed in Liverpool in 1998 and put together by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) frontman Andy McCluskey, who served as a principal songwriter during their early years. The original line-up consisted of Kerry Katona, Liz McClarnon and Heidi Range. Range was later replaced by Natasha Hamilton and eventually went on to join Sugababes.

The group’s debut album Right Now was released in October 2000 and peaked at number 39 in the UK. After four top ten singles, Katona quit the group and was replaced by former Precious singer Jenny Frost. “Whole Again” (recorded before Katona left), their next single, became their most successful song when it topped the UK singles chart for four weeks and became the 13th best-selling single of the 2000s. The group re-released their debut album, with some tracks re-recorded with Frost’s vocals. In the UK, the album hit number one, going double platinum after selling over 600,000 copies.

Between 2002 and 2004, the group released a further two studio albums, Feels So Good (which also went double platinum in the UK) and Ladies Night, and a greatest hits album before announcing a break following their 2004 tour.
