READ ABOUT LOVE- Richard Thompson

GG Piano Chord 

Asked my Daddy when I was thirteen
DD Piano Chord 

"Daddy can you tell me what love really means?"
GG Piano Chord 

His eyes went glassy, not a word was said
D             (riff)
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"

I've never been to heaven but at least 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 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
