G
Asked my Daddy when I was thirteen

                              D
"Daddy can you tell me what love really means?"

     G
His eyes went glassy, not a word was said

                                 D             (riff)
He poured another beer and his face turned red

G                       C
Asked my mother, she acted the same

     G                        D
She never looked up, she seemed so ashamed

  G                     C
Asked my teacher, he reached for the cane

    G                          D
He said "don't mention that subject again"
CHORUS:
       Em         C
So I read about love, I read it in a magazine

 Em          C
Read about love, cosmo and seventeen

  Em         C
Read about love, in the back of a hustler, hustler, hustler

   G G/F G/E           G/Eb          G  G/F G/E G/Eb
So I         know what makes girls sigh

    G  G/F  G/E     G/Eb      G  G/F G/E G/Eb
And I         know why girls cry

     G        Em     C       D
So don't tell me I don't understand

 G             Em       C            D
What makes a woman and what makes a man

       G            Em             Am        D          C   D
I've never been to heaven but at least I've read about love
My big brother told me when I was fourteen "It's time I showed you what love really means Girls like kissing and romance too But a boy's got to know what a man's got to do" He gave me a book, the cover was plain Written by a doctor with a German name It had glossy pictures, serious stuff I read it seven time then I knew it well enough CHORUS #2; Read about love, now I've got you Read about love, where I want you Read about love, I got you on the test-bed, test-bed, test-bed So why, don't you moan and sigh? And why do you sit there and cry? I do everything I'm supposed to do If something's wrong than it must be you I know the ways of a woman I've read about love Well well well, when I touch you there it's supposed to feel nice That's what it said in reader's advice I've never been to heaven but at least I've read about love
