"Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" is a song by American rock group Journey released as a single in 1979 from the album Evolution. Lyrically, the song is about a woman who is cheating on her boyfriend, the narrator, but at the end of the song the woman's lover is cheating on her. Distraught, the woman goes to the narrator in the hope that he will take her back, but he rebuffs her and tells her "Now it's your time, girl, to cry."
