Read About Love

G
Asked my Daddy when I was thirteen
                              D
"Daddy can you tell me what love 
really means?"
     G
His eyes went glassy, not a word was
 said
                                 D 
He poured another beer and his face
            (riff)
 turned red
G                       C
Asked my mother, she acted the same
     G                        D
She never looked up, she seemed so 
ashamed
  G                     C
Asked my teacher, he reached for the
 cane
    G                          D
He said "don't mention that subject 
again"

CHORUS:
       Em         C
So I read about love, I read it in a
 magazine
 Em          C
Read about love, cosmo and seventeen
Continues after the ad
  Em         C
Read about love, in the back of a 
hustler, hustler, hustler
   G G/F G/E           G/Eb     
So I         know what makes 
     G  G/F G/E G/Eb
girls sigh
    G  G/F  G/E     G/Eb      G 
And I         know why girls cry
 G/F G/E G/Eb

     G        Em     C       D
So don't tell me I don't understand
 G             Em       C        
What makes a woman and what makes
    D
 a man
       G            Em         
I've never been to heaven but at 
    Am        D          C   D
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
