READ ABOUT LOVE- Richard Thompson
GAsked my Daddy when I was thirteen
"Daddy can you tell me whDat love really means'"
His eGyes went glassy, not a word was said
D (riff)
He poured another beer and his face turned red
GAsked my mother, she actCed the same
She nGever looked up, she seemeDd so ashamed
AsGked my teacher, he reaCched for the cane
He sGaid "don't mention thaDt subject again"
CHORUS:
So I reEmad about loCve, I read it in a magazine
REmead about loCve, cosmo and seventeen
ReEmad about loCve, in the back of a hustler, hustler, hustler
G G/F G/E G/Eb G G/F G/E G/Eb
So I know what makes girls sigh
G G/F G/E G/Eb G G/F G/E G/Eb
And I know why girls cry
So doGn't tell Emme I doCn't undeDrstand
WGhat makes a woEmman and wChat makes a mDan
I've neGver been to hEmeaven but at leAmast I've rDead about lCove D
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 read it seven time then I knew it well enough
CHORUS #2;
Read about love, now I've got you
Read about love, where I want you
Read about love, I got you on the test-bed, test-bed, test-bed
So why, don't you moan and sigh'
And why do you sit there and cry'
I do everything I'm supposed to do
If something's wrong than it must be you
I know the ways of a woman I've read about love
Well well well, 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
