Oh baby, say it with a loud vowel, [A] read my lips
Yes, I think you can
Read my lips, and you'll understand
Well I can see it in your eyes now honey, cause I've seen it in myself
You got a few old scars, that's ancient history baby, that [Am] was someone else
[D] Well I can tell you that you're only human, that's your right to be afraid
[A] But how can you pull back on me now, don't you make that bad mistake
[E] Oh you can give me love or you can just give me, now it's a choice, it's sweet too
[D] But you weren't born no yesterday son, I wasn't born in the morning
[A] Read my lips, yes I think you can
Read my lips, and you'll understand
Read my lips, that can read my mind
Read my lips, it's the one more time
