lyrics

You spend an awful lot of time
reading lips
will you ever read mine?
You've put a thousand lines
on peoples's lips
what would you put on mine?
Choose the words
carefully
your hair yanked in a ponytail
make me say
something funny
make me say...
well you can read lips, can you?
So read mine
Read my lips

I saw you standing there in the door frame
I didn't tell the truth
I hoped somehow you could read my mind
It was like waiting soaked wet under the rain
by a phone booth
for a call that will never come
Choose the words
carefully
good-hearted words
sometimes like fire, sometimes like ice
make me say
something funny
make me say...
well I can't read lips, can't I ?
So read mine
Read my lips

I should have told you in the first place
what it was all about
but I hoped somehow you would read my mind
or you pushed you in at a slow pace
and shut the door behind
and put my lips on yours
Choose the words
carefully
choose the words,
make them sound trustworthy
Should have said
something funny
should have said...
Well, you can read lips, can you?
So read mine
Read my lips
