My life depends on your touch

The song is "Soul Deep," by The Box Tops. I used to have a Project Playlist link but it died. This is SO CLEVER!

Although I don't know much
I know I love you so much
My life depends on your touch
   And my love is a river runnin' soul deep
   Way down inside me it's-a soul deep
   It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
   My love is a river runnin' soul deep

I'd work myself to death for ya
Just to show I adore ya
Nothing I wouldn't do for ya
   Cause my love is a river runnin' soul deep
   Way down inside me it's-a soul deep
   It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
   My love is a river runnin' soul deep

All I ever, ever hope to be
Depends on your love for me
Baby believe me
If you should leave me
I'd be nothin' but an empty shell
I know darn well, I can tell, now

I don't know much
I know I love you so much
My life depends on your touch
   And my love is a river runnin' soul deep
   Way down inside me it's-a soul deep
   It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
   My love is a river runnin' soul deep
