| Read My Lips   Sometimes I can be so shy, I keep my emotion deep inside.
 I try to tell you how
 much you mean to me.
 And each time I start out,
 I get stuck, words don't come  easily.
 
 When the feel of my hand,
 and the warmth of my touch
 ain't enough, don't give up,
 read my lips.
 If your heart doesn't hear
 when my arms draw you near,
 it will soon, soon be clear,
 read my lips.
 
 Lovin' eyes gaze in mine,
 looking for some  kind of sign.
 If I were a poet,
 and feelings were poetry,
 I'd send you a thousand lines
 about how much you mean  to me.
 
 When the feel of my hand,
 and the warmth of my touch
 ain't enough, don't give up,
 read my lips.
 If your heart doesn't hear
 when my arms draw you near,
 it will soon, soon be clear,
 read my lips.
 
 Time after time,
 I tried my best to say
 how much I need you, darlin',
 the words just never came.
 
 When the feel of my hand,
 and the warmth of my touch
 ain't enough, don't give up,
 read my lips.
 If your heart doesn't hear
 when my arms draw you near,
 it will soon, soon be clear,
 read my lips.
