[Intro]
(Hahaha)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
If you wanna know the truth, read my lips
'Cause they're telling you to make your move, read my lips
[Verse 1]
We've been talking for a while, boy
I got your message on my phone
I need to talk to you face-to-face
'Cause I don't wanna be alone
[Chorus]
If you wanna know the truth, read my lips
'Cause they're telling you to make your move, steal a kiss
Words are never enough, my only wish, is you
Forget about the things I say, read my lips (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
It seems that you're a little shy, boy
But you keep answering my call
And you and me can talk for hours and hours
Not saying anything at all
[Chorus]
If you wanna know the truth, read my lips
'Cause they're telling you to make your move, steal a kiss
Words are never enough, my only wish, is you
Forget about the things I say, read my lips
[Bridge]
Don't you know I need you so?
Read my lips, I can't let go

Read my lips, I can't let go
[Verse 3]
And now you're looking in my eyes, boy
And my tongue is gettin' tied
I've been waiting for this moment, darling
Feel the heat, it's getting hot and hot
[Chorus]
If you wanna know the truth, read my lips
'Cause they're telling you to make your move, steal a kiss
Words are never enough, my only wish, is you
Forget about the things I say, read my lips
[Outro]
I'm waiting for you (Ooh)
I'm waiting here for you
Yeah, I'll wait here for you, baby (Ooh)
If you want me to
(Don't you know I need you so?) I'm waiting for you all night
(Read my lips, I can't let go) If only you could read my mind, baby
(Don't you know I need you so?)
(Read my lips, I can't let go)
You and me were meant to be
