By Ellen Foley and Desmond Child



Chorus:

Read my lips

Do you get the message in my kiss

Close your eyes

And read my lips

Come a little closer just like this

Baby baby



Gettin' harder through the night

Tossing and a turnin'

Been dreaming 'bout me

Temperature is burnin'

Now you're gonna lose the fight

Mind against the senses

Forget the past

And stick to present tenses



Repeat Chorus



Everybody's got a right

To basic education

So you better take note

And tune into my station

Well I know it sounds trite

But listen to me mister

L-O-V-E can be a real tongue twister



Repeat Chorus

(C'mon baby)



One thing they never teach in schools

Is that there's no such thing as rules

I know that you can learn tonight

I know that you can learn to...

Read my lips



Repeat Chorus and fade
