Sometimes I can be so shy I keep my emotions deep inside And I try to tell you how much you mean to me But each time I start out I get stuck, words don't come easily [Chorus] When the feel of my hand And the warmth of my touch Ain't enough Don't give up Read My Lips If your heart doesn't hear When my arms draw you near It will soon, soon be clear Read My Lips Lovin' eyes gaze into mine Lookin' for some kind of sign If I were a poet, My feelings were poetry I'd send you a thousand lines About how much you mean to me [Chorus] Time after time I try my best to say How much I need you darlin' The words just never came [Chorus]
