Read My Lips
Blue System Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dirty talk - a dirty street
Another night - it's bitter sweet
I just want to make good love to you
I build a home for you and me
Baby, oh a mystery - can't you see babe what a love can do ?
I want to kiss you baby - oh better be a lady tonight
Oh, you can see forever - oh baby we're together
Deep down in the morning
Deep down in the night
Read my lips - read my love
Make me blue
One more night - one more kiss
Just for you
Read my lips - say your will will be mine
Painted rose till the end of the time
Oh, it's too late - don't stop me girl
Breaking up is not my world
I just want to make love with you
Sorry doesn't make it right - baby in a restless night
Can't you see babe what a love can do ?
I want to kiss you baby - you better be a lady tonight
Oh, you can see forever - oh babe we're together




Deep down in the morning and
Deep down in the night
