This week's retro revisit is Journey's 'Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'.' This 1979 break-up tune is quite bluesy, featuring pub-like piano and Steve Perry's bar-crooner-like vocals. Tadly tinged with vengeance, not only is there taunting ("na na na na"), but the lyrics call to the woman in question to not get too comfortable with her new beau, as karma will more than likely cause her to be dumped in the same way she, herself, dumped the narrator of the song. Of all the songs in the Journey catalog, this is, without question, one of my favorite Perry-belted tunes.

You make me weep and wanna die
Just when you said we’d try
Lovin’, touchin’, squeezin’ each other
When I’m alone all by myself
You’re out with someone else
Lovin’, touchin’, squeezin’ each other
You’re tearin’ me apart
Every day, every day
You’re tearin’ me apart
Oh what can I say?
You’re tearin’ me apart
It won’t be long, yes till you’re alone
When your lover, oh, he hasn’t come home
Cause he’s lovin’ oo, he’s touchin’,
He’s squeezin’ another
He’s tearin’ you apart
Every day, every day
He’s tearin’ you apart
Oh girl what can you say?
Cause he’s lovin’, touchin’ another
Now it’s your turn, girl to cry
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
