  • I don't think that we will be pleased with this
    We have waited for a long time
    I recall the promises made to us
    We've been patient for a long time

    One touch is never enough
    You gave the opening, opening
    One touch is never enough
    People who need people, to the back of the bus

    I don't see how we could be pleased with this
    We've been waiting for a long time
    I recall the promises made to us
    We've been patient such a long time

    No one is dangerous
    We are not dangerous
    Unless we get a closer view

    One touch is never enough
    People need to move to the back of the bus
    One touch is never enough
    Complicated people never do what you're told to

    One touch is never enough
    People will need this in the back of the bus
    One touch is never enough
    People who need people are just people who need people

    One touch is never enough
    One touch is never enough
    One touch is never enough
    People who need people are just people who need people

    I don't think that we will be pleased with this
    We have waited such a long time
    There's no way that we can be pleased with this
    We've been waiting such a long time

    We've been waiting such a long time
    We've been waiting such a long time
    This is getting sort of unreasonable
    But we've been waiting a very long time

    One touch is never enough
    One touch is never enough
    One touch is never enough
    One touch is never enough

    One touch is never enough
    One touch is never enough
    One touch is never enough
    People who need people, to the back of the bus

    No one is dangerous
    No one is dangerous
    Until we get a closer view Writer/s: Gavin Russom, James Jeremiah Murphy, Nancy Whang
