Read It In Books Lyrics - Echo & The Bunnymen

You said you couldn't find 

Anyone to love ya 

I said there's more to life 

Than a broken heart 

Did it console ya? 

I've seen it in your eyes 

And I've read it in books 

Who wants love 

Without the looks? 

You know the word is please 

You say it from your knees 

Show some respect 

Hey baby, genuflect 

Once I like crying 

Twice I like laughter 

Come on tell me 

What I'm after 

I said you gotta stop 

Chasing rainbows 

You said I'm just 

Staying up 

And anyway I like it 

When the rain goes 

I've seen it in your eyes 

I've read it in books 

Who wants love 

Without the looks? 

Once I like crying 

Twice I like laughter 

Come on tell me 

What I'm after 

There's not that much to us 

I hide the little with the lot 

You still expect a loving fuss 

After showing all you've got 

I've seen it in your eyes 

I've read it in books 

Who wants love 

Without the looks? 

That's all
