I Touch Myself Lyrics

Edit Lyrics I love myself, I want you to love me.When I'm feeling down, I want you above me.I search myself, I want you to find me.I forget myself, I want you to remind me. I don't want anybody else.When I think about you, I touch myself.Oh, I don't want anybody else, oh, nooh, no, oh, no.You're the one who makes me happy honeyYou're the sun who makes me shine.When you're around I'm always laughin',I want to make you mine. I close my eyes and see you before me.Think I would die if you were to ignore me.A fool could see just how much I adore you.I'd get down on my knees, I'd do anything for you. I don't want anybody else.When I think about you, I touch myself.Oh, I don't want anybody else, oh, nooh, no, oh, no. I love myself, I want you to love me.When I feel down, I want you above me.I search myself, I want you to find me.I forget myself, I want you to remind me. I don't want anybody else.When I think about you, I touch myself.Oh, I don't want anybody else, oh, nooh, no, oh, no. I want you, don't want anybody else.And when I think of you I touch myself,oo, oo, oo, ah.I don't want anybody else.When I think about you, I touch myself.Oh, I don't want anybody else.When I think about you, I touch myself.I don't want anybody else.When I think about you, I touch myself.Oh, I don't want anybody else.When I think about you, I touch myself.I touch myself,I honestly do.

Lyrics cannot contain links. Lyric edit submitted successfully and is pending approval. Approvals usually take 24 hours. Edit Cancel Editing Tips Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I heard this song was a one-hit wonder. Talk about a climax.

Grooooan. ] Incidentally, it wasn't a one hit wonder. They had several hits in the 80s.

mira_love Obviously depends on the market. Divinyls had many hits in their homeland. This was used for a breast cancer campaign, to encourage women to examine their own breasts, made more poignsant because the singer was a victim of the disease.The meaning is pretty succinctly summed up in the line "When I think about you I touch myself". The person being addresed turns her on, not much to it but certainly a great song and a well deserved international hit.

This song is so much fun to sing along to, especially in the car with all your friends, yelling it at the top of your lungs! Great song- gotta love it!

mira love, this song was NOT a one hit wonder. What about Pleasure and Pain? eh? eh? eh? I love this song...it always makes me laugh, it just has such a light hearted feel to it, and I love the way it's kind of...outrageous...I mean, I was recently at a school dance, and this song was played after we requested it, and everyone just went insane, and the teachers were all really shocked...It's things like that that make this song as awesome as it is...
