The Book I Read Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm writing 'bout the book I read
I have to sing about the book I read
I'm embarassed to admit it hit the soft spot in my heart
When I found out you wrote the book I read

[Chorus]
So take my shoulders as they touch your arms
I've got little cold chills but I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Oh ho

[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm living in the future
I feel wonderful, I'm tipping over backwards
I'm so ambitious, I'm looking back
I'm running a race and you're the book I read

[Chorus]
So feel my fingers as they touch your arms
I'm spinning around but I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Ooh hoo, ah ha
Oh ho, ooh

[Bridge]
Na na na na
Na na na na na-na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na-na na, ha, ha!
Oh, na na na na
Ooh na na na na na na na
Mmm, na na na na
Na na na na na-na na
Ooh, na na na na
Na na na na na-na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na-na na

Oh ho, oh oh
Oh oh

[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm living in the future
I feel wonderful, I'm tipping over backwards
I'm so ambitious, I'm looking back
I'm running a race and you're the book I read

[Chorus]
Feel my fingers as they touch your arms
I'm spinning around and I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Ooh hoo, ah ha
Oh ho, ooh

[Outro]
Na na na na
Na na na na na-na na

Na na na na na-na na, hey!
