Midas Touch – English Lyrics

• By: Ellie Goulding, Burns

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You say you're going through changes

Every day it seems your life is up and down

And you say that you're looking for an answer

Everywhere you look it seems you can't be found

Like searching, trying to find the rainbow

No one's ever found it, yet it's told to be

But if you're looking for a lover

Everything you need, yeah, you can find right here with me

I've got the Midas touch

Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar

I've got the Midas touch

Baby, let me touch your body and your soul

I've got the Midas touch

Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar

I've got the Midas touch

Baby, let me touch your body and your soul

Now you've been trapped by love

Someone takes your heart and then says goodbye

So you say that you'll never love another

Tired of playing games and that's the reason why

But now whenever we're together

There's a certain feeling, that we both agree

And it's time that you've opened up to love

Cause if you don't ever try, then baby, you may never see

I've got the Midas Touch

Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar

I've got the Midas Touch

Baby, let me touch your body and your soul

I've got the Midas Touch

Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar

I've got the Midas Touch

Baby, let me touch your body and your soul

Together you and I we're meant to be

I'll be right beside whenever you need me

This love we have will never fade away

You can count on me cause I'm here to stay, yeah

I've got the Midas Touch

Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar

I've got the Midas Touch

Baby, let me touch your body and your soul

I've got the Midas Touch

Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar

I've got the Midas Touch

Baby, let me touch your body and your soul
