Real life – killed me on the school bus
Real life – wise guys never weep
Real life – dying to be famous
Real life – happens on TV

Real life – covered up in make-up
Real life – it's only make believe
Real life – I meet you when I wake up
Real life – I touch you on a screen

Refrain:
Touch me, touch me
I long to live for real
Touch me, touch me
I'm just as human as a human can be
Please touch me

Real life – full of imitations
Real life – I talk to you in codes
Real life – real imagination
Real life – I hide behind these clothes

Refrain

Touch me, (touch me) touch me (touch me)
I long to live for real
Touch me, (touch me) touch me (touch me)
I long to live for real
Touch me, touch me
I'm just as human as a human can be
