Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945 in Los Angeles, California) is an American singer-songwriter. She is noted for her distinctive, raspy voice which she attributes to many hours spent singing in smoky bars and clubs. Carnes was a member of New Christy Minstrels from 1966 until 1970. Kenny Rogers was also a member, and during this time Carnes met and married Dave Ellingson, with whom she would write most of her songs. For a short while in the early 1970s, she and Ellingson formed the folk duo Kim and Dave, which was not successful.

Touch And Go Lyrics
Kim Carnes
Clive Gregson)
Sometimes it hurts so much that I wonder
What kind of spell I am under
That makes me feel this way
I know the ways of love aren't easy
You try your best to please me
But I still have to say
You drain my emotion
But I will not let it show
Cause you just want to wind me up
But you cannot stand to watch me go
Why do your reactions always seem so slow
For tonight tonight it could be touch and go
It seems that mothers words still linger
Beware the moving finger
And keep yourself quite pure
In time a man will come and he'll bring
A promise and a ring
But till that day be sure
And hide your emotion
And never let it show
Cause you just want to wind me up
But you cannot stand to watch me go
Why do your reactions always seem so slow
For tonight tonight it could be touch and go
For tonight tonight it could be touch and go
