I Can Read Books - Judie Tzuke, Brian May

What goes on behind the picture?

Is there something I can’t see?

How can I be part of something I can’t even touch or feel?

Oh no

We’ve got so much to discover

Open up and let me in

It’s all that I can do to keep my hands from taking hold of you

Oh no

Why can’t I just say that I love you?

Why must we play these games?

Tell me what I have to do

Tell me am I getting through?

I can read books but I can’t read you

Oh no

Am I blind to your excuses?

Have I missed a vital part?

In all that you’ve been saying I don’t think you mean a single word

Oh no

Too much talk of how she hurt you

That was long before I came

I don’t want to pay for pain that I won’t let you feel again

Why can’t I just say that I love you?

Why must we play these games?

Tell me what I have to do

Tell me am I getting through?

I can read books but I can’t read you

Well I’m knocking on the doors but they won’t open

'Cos I know that I can fix whatever’s broken

I can read books but I can’t read you

Tell me what I have to do

Tell me am I getting through?

I can read books but I can’t read you
