Read my lips

Eyes, they speak a language all their own
They are the windows to the soul, they say
What they really mean remains to be seen
Words tell you what you want to hear
Never, never really being clear
Wires get crossed, messages lost

There’s somethin’ I’m dyin’ to tell you
Please come as close as you can
I want to make myself crystal clear
So if you still don’t understand

Read my lips
Read my lips
Read my lips
All I am saying is how much I need to be loved

Let’s get romantic now and here
Don’t let semantics interfere with love
An intimate touch can show you so much
You want to know where I’m comin’ from
The answer’s here, right on the tip of my tongue
Just watch my mouth, figure it out

There’s somethin’ I’m dyin’ to tell you
Please come as close as you can
I want to make myself crystal clear
So if you still don’t understand

Read my lips
Read my lips
Read my lips
All I am saying is how much I need to be loved

Oh...there’s somethin’ I’m dyin’ to tell you
Please come as close as you can
I want to make myself crystal clear
So if you still don’t understand

Read my lips
Read my lips
Read my lips
Read my lips

Oh, read my lips
Read my lips
All I am saying is how much I need to be loved

Read my lips (Oh...whoa)
Read my lips (Just read my lips)
Read my lips (Oh, read my lips)
Read my lips (Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...)

Read my lips
Read my lips (Oh, read my lips)
Read my lips (I need to be loved)
Read my lips (I need to be loved)

Read my lips (Just want to be loved)
Read my lips (I’ve got to be loved)
Read my lips (Just read my lips)
Read my lips (Just read my lips)
