Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Watching love driftin' away

And I feel like I'm someone else

The hurting is rough, long are the days

And you have hurt me enough

You're scared to be loved

You know that's your way

And your youth hasn't made you too tough

You're hurting for love in so many ways

The truth has hurt you enough

[Verse 2]

I read a book

And it's your face

(It's your face, now)

But fake

Still, my love for you was no mistake

(I will always love you)

But fake

[Verse 3]

Hopin' for love day after day

And it's always someone else

The hurting is rough and long are the days

And you have hurt me enough

[Verse 4]

You're burning your hair

On your cigarette, ooh, baby

Turning your nose up

At the clothes your girlfriend wears

I don't care

[Verse 5]

I read a book

And it's your face

(And it's your face, now)

But fake

Still, my love for you was no mistake

(And I will always love you)

But fake

(Oh, yeah)

[Verse 6]

I read a book

And it's your face

(Readin' ya, baby)

But fake

(Ooh, no

Still, my love for you was no mistake

('Cause I will always love you)

But fake

(Mmm-hmm)

[Verse 7]

Always, always, always, I will love you, baby, now

Oh, yeah

[Verse 8]

You're burning your hair

On your cigarette, ooh, baby

Turning your nose up

At the clothes your girlfriend wears

I don't care

[Verse 9]

I read a book

And it's your face

(So obvious, baby)

But fake

Still, my love for you was no mistake

('Cause I will always love you)

But fake

(You)

[Verse 10]

Always, always, always, I will love you, baby, now

Ooh, you're in love

It's so obvious, baby

[Verse 11]

I read a book

And it's your face

(Feelin' ya right now)

(I could feel ya right now)

I read a book

And it's your face

(I will always love you)

(I will love you)

(Love you)

I read a book
