| Asked my daddy when I was thirteen
|
| Daddy can you tell me what love really means?
|
| His eyes went glassy, not a word was said
|
| 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
|
| So I read about love-read it in a magazine
|
| Read about love-Cosmo and Seventeen
|
| Read about love-In the back of a Hustler, Hustler, Hustler
|
| So I-know what makes girls sigh
|
| And I-know why girls cry
|
| So don’t tell me I don’t understand
|
| What makes a woman and what makes a man
|
| I’ve never been to heaven but at lest
|
| 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 readd it seven times, then I knew it well enough
|
| Read about love-now I’ve got you
|
| Read about love-where I want you
|
| Read about love-got you on the test-bed, test-bed, test-bed
|
| So why-don't you moan and sigh
|
| Why-do you sit there and cry?
|
| I do everything I’m supposed to do
|
| If something’s wrong, then it must be you
|
| I know the ways of a woman
|
| I’ve read about love
|
| 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 |
