paroles de chanson I Can Read Books - Judie Tzuke

What goes on behind the picture? Is there something I can't see?
How can I be part of something I can't even touch or feel?
Oh no
We've got so much to discover
Open up and let me in

It's all that I can do to keep my hands from taking hold of you
Oh no
Why can't I just say that I love you?
Why must we play these games?
Tell me what I have to do
Tell me am I getting through?
I can read books but I can't read you
Oh no

Am I blind to your excuses? Have I missed a vital part?
In all that you've been saying I don't think you mean a single word
Oh no
Too much talk of how she hurt you
That was long before I came
I don't want to pay for pain that I won't let you feel again

Why can't I just say that I love you?
Why must we play these games?
Tell me what I have to do
Tell me am I getting through?
I can read books but I can't read you

Well I'm knocking on the doors but they won't open
'Cause I know that I can fix whatever's broken
I can read books but I can't read you

Tell me what I have to do
Tell me am I getting through?
I can read books but I can't read you
