Jackson 5 - Touch Lyrics






Reach out and touch
Reach out and touch

Darlin' just relax
You melt me like hot candle wax
One touch and my whole body melts
You just say, you say you can't express yourself

Oh, just keep doin' what you're doin'
Fancy words will only ruin it
Touch (touch me)
That very special touch
If I satisfy you (if I satisfy you)
How can you satisfy me baby

Don't you worry baby why
You see these tears of love in my eyes
I feel this love flowin' through
Like a river girl straight from me to you

Your touch mean than words
Than any language ever heard
Touch (touch me)
That very special touch
Every brand new day (every brand new day)
I wake up wanting you the same ole way

Reach out and touch (touch me)
That very special touch
Yeah touch (touch me, touch me, touch me)
That very, very special touch baby
If I satisfy you (if I satisfy you)
How can you satisfy me

Jackson 5 Touch Comments
  1. R.... J....

    I dedicate this to Katoya ☺

  2. A.... E....

    I can see why Jermaine wanted Jaafar to sing this. A lot of emotion is conveyed in this song.

  3. M.... ....

    My favorite.

  4. L.... I....

    This was originally recorded by The Supremes, and released in 1971. Mary Wilson sang lead on Michael's vocal, and Jermaine sings Jean Terrell's part. I like The Supremes version better; this sounds almost lurid hearing a 14 year old kid sing it!

  5. P.... ....

    You know sales are down when they got you showing nipple just to sell an album.

  6. k.... c....

    You melt me like 🔥 candle wax. Don't you worry baby why you see this tears of love in my eyes I feel this love flowing through

  12. P.... H....

    No MJ how about you "touch me, touch me, touch me" instead :)

  13. T.... ....

    Aliyah was sing like this at 14 and tracie spencer

  14. M.... L....

    it a mazes me how everyone is thinking only sexually, what my spirit grasp is that moment of life, it was, people were genuine, respect was alive, and this at this days of life could be the EXACT SAME 😊😊😊😊😊😊

  15. M.... P....

    This is for the young people curious to know the Jacksons were big big stars when they were young... I mean they sold out every show...young girls went crazy over them..they were phenomenon at that time.

    M.... P....

    I saw them in person. The electricity they put out was unreal. They were incredible.

    M.... P....

    You are so right! We were so excited about The Jackson 5!!!!!!

  16. s.... r....

    Why did you put a pic of themsleves beeing naked? weird

  17. m.... ....

    Their ballads are the BOMB!

  18. M.... C....

    Jimi LaLumia, being six months younger than MJ, I have been on this train and madly in love since 1969. As I recall this song was a b side on a 45. Those b sides had some great songs. Darling Dear, One More Chance, To Know, I Found That Girl, The Young Folk, Who's Loving You, Maria. My first J5 music was on 8 track in 69.

  20. C.... G....

    a lovely song to listen and love your wife or husband.

  21. K.... W....

    this was a Supremes cut that they redid. Yes, Motown didn't take in effect all the lyrics in this song

    K.... W....

    Kyle West shut your sensitive ass up nigga

  22. L.... L....

    Jermaine look hot

  23. J.... ....

    Around that time, they were growing tired of all the "Bubble Gum" sounding tunes, and Michael was vocally maturing, plus, Joe was unhappy with how his boys were being managed....

  24. d.... f....

    it's too sensual to a 14 year old boy, but it's a good song. 

    d.... f....

    We were the same age and none of us knew what they were talking about. We just knew they were fine as hell-o and they could really sing and dance! Things were so much more innocently thought of back then. No tabloid nonsense to kill our vibe.

  25. T.... A....

    MICHAEL, TE RECORDAREMOS POR SIEMPRE AMIGO, DESCANSA EN PAZ.....

  26. d.... s....

    Some of the lyrics they had that boy singing...

    d.... s....

    we all song songs as a child and did not have a clue what singers were talking about

    d.... s....

    You do have a point, but MJ had been singing songs in adult places since he was 9 years old or so; plus, Motown was trying to transition the J5 away from bubblegum to more mature, Vegas-y stuff, which they did, successfully. It probably helped MJ to become one of the rare child stars to go on to not only an adult pop star but one of the GOAT. Berry Gordy was a music biz genius.

    d.... s....

    Simply because he COULD💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾♥️♥️♥️

  27. H.... ....

    I wonder if some of the lyrics in this song like 'touch me' and the 'hot candle wax' melting thing inspired the second verse of Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough lol...

    H.... ....

    LOLZ! That could be the case.

    H.... ....

    +HKahin that's what i thought lol

  28. J.... L....

    just YouTube "Touch" by The Supremes and you'll find the original version of this song,which flopped on the charts for The Supremes(Mary Wilson and Jean Terrell shared the lead vocal),and was also a flop as single for The Jackson 5...the song was clearly not singles material, it should have stayed an album track

  29. J.... L....

    Jean Terrell took over as The Supremes singer in 1970 when Diana Ross went solo, not Tammi Terrell who had passed away and was not related to Jean..

    J.... L....

    Jimi LaLumia
    Jean was related to pro boxing heavyweight contender Ernie Terrell

  30. j.... ....

    I'm just going by from what I read some where in a article that the song 'touch' was originally so suppose to be for Diana Ross, but they gave it to the Jackson 5. I'm just going by what I read a couple of weeks ago, lol. I know the song 'touch' sounds different with different lyrics, etc. from 'touch me in the morning', and in fact a totally different song. Just going by from whatI read. Maybe you should search it out regarding to song 'touch' originally suppose to be for Diana Ross.

  31. f.... h....

    No, you are again wrong. This song is called "Touch" and it charted in October of 1971 and recorded as a post-Diana Ross Supremes (reached Nr. 71), with Tammi Terrell as a lead singer..
    "Touch Me In The Morning" is totally another song. You can compare it here on You Tube.

    f.... h....

    Do not disrespect the legacy that is JEAN Terrell not Tammi

  32. j.... ....

    Diana Ross was suppose to be in the song 'Touch' so you see my point. Just because whe wasn't in the song, she was suppose to be. Besides she song the sung anyway in 1973, the same year the Jackson five sung it. If you don't believe me, here's here singing it live in 1979, he he lol: /watch?v=R7wDUTADgv8

  33. j.... ....

    No your wrong, Diana song this song. The title is a little different called 'touch me in the morning' but the song is suppose to be the same. And yes, "Touch" (originally recorded by the Supremes in 1971), features Michael and Jermaine singing about satisfying a woman in bed.

  34. f.... h....

    You are wrong. It was Supremes with Diana's replacement Tammi Terrell.

  35. D.... H....

    I love this song. I love it when Michael sing on smooth tracks like this.

  36. j.... ....

    They've been trying to sexualize Michael sense he was a child, poor Michael, he was to young to be singing something like that.

  37. j.... ....

    Michael is so cute. And Jermaine makes me laugh because he's burning in lust, lol.

  38. j.... ....

    Diana Ross originally song this song in 1971.

  39. T.... J....

    @zpheyheyhey yeah it really does but they would have really showed it with me and michael

  40. T.... ....

    Oh lordy this is pure magic, those perfect harmonies.jermaine has a relly lovely voice and Michael is the cutest (pinches cheeks)

  41. G.... ....

    omg just look yeah reach out and alright yeah im thinking what can ido

  42. G.... ....

    michaels voice at the beginning makes me relax:)

  43. M.... ....

    @theoldschoolfool1 My aunt had a crush on Jermaine too lol

  44. M.... ....

    Jackie and Jermaine ouch! Good Genes no doubt why they have lots of children lol

  45. R.... ....

    @uzipolo The Beatles never copied them. They'd already broken up as the Jackson 5 were introduced.

  46. D.... P....

    when michael jackson says 'touch me touch me touch me'' LMAO XD love you mike!

  47. t.... ....

    my aunt had a massive crush on Jermaine when she was a kid, so when she came in my room and saw me listening to this she went bannanas lol

  48. C.... W....

    Michael sang this song to all the kids at the Neverland Ranch

  49. E.... ....

    Just found this 45 coverless on the attick. It's not mine, so it's my husband's, LOL! He's a Beatles-fan LMFO!

  50. A.... ....

    @HollyWoodGrammys That's very true. Sad thing, reading some of these comments, I'm excited to listen to this lol.

  51. H.... ....

    Yes ! My song too. No, I don't think it's too mature... Not at all ! Times were so so very different then. The World has changed terribly. If it were today I'd say... H%ll Yeah !

    Thanks for sharing this Beautiful song ; )

  52. L.... W....

    The thrill still runs through me when I hear this song. Damn Jackie! I loved you so. There was nothing more precious to me than my dreams of you. Call me crazy but I still love ya! Always will......

  53. b.... ....

    @Helix07171991 He's an artist singing a song. It's not real life. It's a performance. Their ages have nothing to do with it. No disrespect intended.

  54. C.... I....

    My dear Mike RIP <3

  55. z.... ....

    @kwkable11 I KNOW DAT NOW!

  56. k.... ....

    @zpheyheyhey DUH!

  57. J.... A....

    i bet they dont even remember recording this song

  58. S.... ....

    GREAT SONG...BUT I THINK IT SHOULD'VE JUST BEEN JERMAINE LEADING..SINCE HE WAS 18...IT WAS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR MICHAEL TO SING THIS...

  59. z.... ....

    @UniversalMinded it almost sounds like he's talkin about sex... does anyone else think so?

  60. M.... ....

    @blackguy69 I must admitt the voices on this cover song is so groovy lol

    they really sung the hell out of this song not to mention how smooth and mellow it starts out and ends...WOW!

    I have the Supreme version I just dont like it..

  61. B.... K....

    @Veo17 he sang lead we can change the world. he sang parts on songs with: mama got a brand new thing (just say no). hum along & dance. corner in the sky. the love you save. time explosion. i'll bet you.

  62. C.... C....

    They have six packs!!!!!!!

  63. J.... #....

    Ahhhh.... The Pubescent Season. I like it!

  64. J.... #....

    ; I don't think so, I first heard this song when I was 10; and everybody in my class (apart from me) knew what "gay" ment when I was 9, and they were 8.

  65. E.... B....

    @strawberryiesable Hey Jermaine is mine!!! (: jeez i a already know he is insanely SEXYY but yeah try to back offff. lol

  66. J.... #....

    Who's are YOU gonna touch first? Tomorrow on FOX; 09:30c/p.

  67. J.... S....

    Nice version but you can not beat the original by The Supremes.

  68. g.... ....

    CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS JAM.

  69. C.... ....

    Thank you...Mike really had nothing to do with this..Motown gave them to song to sing..They didn't know what songs would be like til they got to the studio so...

  70. f.... ....

    A little old for his age, but it's not uncommon for 14-year-olds to have romantic/sexual feelings... Mike just sounded younger than he was. Jermaine sounds so hot and mature here, though... daaaaamn.

    The picture makes me laugh, though ... a family shirtless photoshoot? Kinda strange.

  71. A.... ....

    He could not object, his job is to sing, he had to fulfill the wishes of his boss.

  72. t.... ....

    Just so you know, SKYWRITER was a 1973 album (Spring of that year). Get it together came out at the very end of 1973 (and all the hit songs are basically 1974 radio plays) 1971 was when the Supremes (minus Diana Ross) came out with their version of this song from their album TOUCH. In 1971 the J5 put out MAYBE TOMORROW and the GOIN' BACK TO INDIANA TV SPECIAL albums.

  73. u.... ....

    the jackson always sung mature songs ''ill be ther for example,, thats why the beatles, the osmonds, the animals, etc copy cated them...now come now how can a kid sing this? BUt they PULLED it off this is a great song says uzipolo king of decatur

  74. D.... B....

    I agree, they had other great songs, I love the J5, they are the best like my faves, I am 14,I just think this song is rather grown, I say all the time people over exaggerate Joe as a father, he made them into them, without him, there would not have been a J5! Nice to see someone understands!

  75. D.... B....

    I think so too, his brothers were already 16,18,and older and he was 14, so he had to sing mature things, but this is kind of obvious mature, but the radio today is rated r and explicit

  76. D.... B....

    It is kind of grown for a 14 year old, I am 14 and if I was an artist, I would object to singing this, when Michael got his solo career, his themes were not as deep!

  77. s.... ....

    yeah michaels saying is funny and cute since he's little and jermaine's trying to sound hot ...both at the same time is funny, I enjoy it, they're great as always.

  78. s.... ....

    I could'nt stop laughing at 1:58. michael is so sweet singing touch me, touch me, touch me...LOL.

  79. S.... ....

    i like the song and backround

  80. F.... D....

    LOL...listening to this song now I can see that some people would think that it was rather provocative for a group of teenagers to sing back then. (But on the other hand, compared to what's being played on the radio these days, this is rather tame. )
    But as a kid I did not completely understand the suggestive words; all I cared about was that it was the J5 and that my sweetie (Michael) was singing on it. ;-)

  81. B.... l....

    can you please tell me where you found this photo?? thanks so much for posting this picture and the song!!!

  82. r.... ....

    like DSTYGE...melting like hot candle wax

  83. E.... B....

    i know right!!
    and Michael and Jermaine's voice is soo sexay! lol

    love it!

  84. l.... g....

    Touch!! This is a nice song...RIP Michael

  85. K.... D....

    Can we find a live performance of this song ?????????? i just adore it.

  86. w.... ....

    man...for over 25 years I've been t-r-y-i-n-g to tell folks about this NEVER PLAYED (on the radio) gem!

    And yes, I have the original LP
    (aka album) for those youngins out there LOL

  87. M.... J....

    This was one of my favorite J5 songs!

    For the most part, I'm so glad they sang original songs, with original music.

    I don't think any artist in my lifetime (46 years old) will be able to record as many hits as the Jackson 5 did, as a group and indiividually.

    I pray you RIP, Dearest Michael, you are sorely missed. (Sunrise 8/29/58 - Sunset 6/25/09).

  88. E.... G....

    Oh I just remembered, Don't stop til you get enough. Good observation

  89. E.... G....

    Hey what's the line and what is the song? This song came out in 1973, but I assume you are talking about a song from Off the Wall that came out in 1979.

  90. k.... ....

    This was my favorite as a kid. Michael taught me how to rap! I love you man. God bless your family.

  91. R.... ....

    One of my favorite J5 songs ever!

  92. s.... ....

    Off topic--- That's a funny user id.

  93. s.... ....

    How sweet can they be?

    My goodness!!!

  94. S.... ....

    Dang, they were all so slim...except Tito eventually. All that rehearsing and dancing, there was no way to gain weight. Anywayz, okay song, but I'm not really feeling it.

  95. S.... S....

    Peep the bassline out to this song...

  96. d.... ....
