lyrics

Read my lips

There ain’t no reason you and I should play
a dumb-ed down version of the dating game
I knew I would know when I found you
from the look in your eyes you knew you'd know too

PRE CHORUS:
maybe I was doubtful maybe I was hopeless once
that feeling didn't last
that's a thing of the past
maybe you were always waiting in the wings
for me to turn the other cheek and start singing:

CHORUS:
Na Na Na Na Na Na baby I adore you
read my lips I'm longing for you
Na Na Na Na Na don't want to control you
read my lips i want to hold you


I've lived enough life to know what i want
I'm so done with the word : ambivalent
let's hit the road lets hit the tarmac
no matter where we go I've got your back

PRE CHORUS:
maybe I was doubtful maybe I was hopeless once
that feeling didn't last
that's a thing of the past
maybe you were always waiting in the wings
for me to turn the other cheek and start singing:

CHORUS:
Na Na Na Na Na Na baby I adore you
read my lips I'm longing for you
Na Na Na Na Na don't want to control you
read my lips i want to hold you



Bridge: No more wishing on falling stars
No more wondering where you are

CHORUS
