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, so
[Verse 2]
Take my shoulders as they touch your arms
I'm a little cautious, but I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Oh-ho
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
So 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
[Verse 5]
Ooh, I'm livin' 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, so
[Verse 6]
Feel my fingers as they touch your arms
I'm spinning around and I feel all right
The book I read was in your eyes
Ooh-hoo, ah-ha
Oh-ho, ooh
