Song | Read About Love |
Artist | Richard Thompson |
Album | Two Letter Words [live] |
作词 : Thompson | |
Asked my daddy when I was thirteen | |
Daddy can you tell me what love really means? | |
His eyes went glassy, not a word was said | |
He poured another beer and his face turned red | |
Asked my mother, she acted the same | |
She never looked up, she seemed so ashamed | |
Asked my teacher, he reached for the cane | |
He said, don't mention that subject again | |
So I read about love-read it in a magazine | |
Read about love-Cosmo and Seventeen | |
Read about love-In the back of a Hustler, Hustler, Hustler | |
So I-know what makes girls sigh | |
And I-know why girls cry | |
So don't tell me I don't understand | |
What makes a woman and what makes a man | |
I've never been to heaven but at lest | |
I've read about love | |
My big brother told me when I was fourteen | |
it's time I showed you what love really means | |
Girls like kissing and romance too | |
But a boy's got to know what a man's got to do | |
He gave me a book, the cover was plain | |
Written by a doctor with a German name | |
It had glossy pictures, serious stuff | |
I readd it seven times, then I knew it well enough | |
Read about love-now I've got you | |
Read about love-where I want you | |
Read about love-got you on the test-bed, test-bed, test-bed | |
So why-don't you moan and sigh | |
Why-do you sit there and cry? | |
I do everything I'm supposed to do | |
If something's wrong, then it must be you | |
I know the ways of a woman | |
I've read about love | |
When I touch you there it's supposed to feel nice | |
That's what it said in reader's advice | |
I've never been to heaven but at least | |
I've read about love |
