Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Asked my daddy when
I was thirteen
"Daddy, can you tell me [D]what
a lover really means?"
His eyes [G]went glassy, not a word was said
He poured another beer [D]and

[Verse 2]
his face turned red
[G]Asked my mother, she [C]acted the same
She [G]never looked up,
[D]she seemed so ashamed
[G]Asked my teacher,
he [C]reached for the cane
[G]He said "Don't mention that
[D]subject again"

[Verse 3]
[Em]
[C](Readabout love)
I read it in [Em]a magazine
[C](Read about love)
Cosmo and Seventeen
(Read about love)
In the back of Hustler, Hustler, Hustler

[Verse 4]
So [G]I k[Em]now what m[Eb]akes girls s[G]igh[Em][Eb]
And [G]I k[Em]now why g[Eb]irls cry[G][Em]
So [G]don't tell [Em]me I d[C]on't underst[D]and
[G]What makes a [Em]woman and
[C]what makes a [D]man
I've [G]never been to [Em]heaven
But at [C]least I've [D]read about [F]love

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][D]

[Verse 5]
My [D]big [G]brother told me
when I was fourteen
It's time I showed you [D]what
a lover really means
[G]Girls like kissing and romance too
But a boy's got to know [D]what
a man's got to [C]do[D]

[Verse 6]
He [G]gave me a book,
[C]the cover was plain
[G]Written by a doctor with a [D]German name
It [G]had glossy pictures, [C]serious stuff
I [G]read it seven times,
then I [D]knew it well enough

[Verse 7]
[Em]
[C](Readabout love)
And now I've got you
[Em](Rea[C]d about love)
Where I want [Em]you
[C](Read about love)
I got you on the test bed, test bed, test bed

[Verse 8]
So [G]why [Em]don't you moan [Cm]and [G]sigh?[Eb]
[G]And why do [Em]you s[D]it there and c[Cm]ry?[G][Em]
[G]I do eve[Em]rything I'm sup
[C]posed to [D]do
[G]If something's [D]wrong,
[Em]then it must[C] be you[D]
[G]I know the w[Em]ays of a w[C]o man
I've [D]read about [F]love

[Verse 9]
Well, well, [F]well
[G]When I touch you [Em]there it's
sup[C]posed to feel [D]nice
[G]That's what it [Em]said in
[C]reader's ad[D]vice
I've [G]never been to [Em]heaven
But at [C]least I've [D]read about [F]love

[Outro 1]
[C][D]
