  • According to Mike's sleevenotes this "could be about the daughter of a flower-child of the 60's-caring and conscious. This New-Age lady's heart and mind give her and additional dimension of depth and desirability."
Lyrics
She believes in God
And karma too
Paranormal powers
You know some people do
Got Scorpio risin'
Uh huh
Tell you what's in your stars

She was down in Rio
Turn the heads of state
Got 'em into makin'
This planet a better place
On Copacabana
Uh huh
Oh yeah she radiate better go meditate

Everytime I touch my baby
Strange things happen
Strange things happen
Everytime I touch my baby
Strange things happen to me
Strange things happen

Oh ohhh ohhhh
Oh oh strange things happen
Everytime I touch my baby
Strange things happen to me

Met a pshycic reader
With a crystal ball
Had a vision
Said we could have it all
I caught her gazin'
Uh huh
At our destiny cosmically

Everytime I touch my baby
Strange things happen
Oh ohhh ohhhh
Oh oh strange things happen
Everytime I touch my baby
Strange things happen to me

Strange things happen
Oh ohhh ohhhh
Oh oh strange things happen
Everytime I touch my baby
Strange things happen to me

Strange strange strange strange strange strange strange strange strange
strange strange strange strange strange strange strange strange strange
strange strange strange

Strange strange strange strange strange strange strange strange strange
strange strange strange strange strange strange strange strange strange
strange strange strange
strange strange strange strange strange strange strange strange strange
strange strange strange strange strange
