Read My Lips
Duran Duran · Liberty [1990]
(ROCK IT!)
I got something
You got nothing to lose
I could give you
So much more than you're used to
Move a little closer
Maybe we can slip away
Right now we could use a little privacy
All too much attention from your friends in here
Move a little closer
Trust me
I'm not on the make
(That's a lie)
If I could pull you over
C'mon lady, what d'you say
Get a grip
Don't resist
Read my lips
It's a trip
Ain't a risk
Read my lips
Get a grip
Don't resist
Read my--
(lips)
Part of you wanna get lucky
Part of you wanna go trade
Part of you wanna come looking
Part of you want to stay.....
(ROCK IT)
Get a grip
Don't resist
Read my lips
It's a trip
Ain't a risk
Read my lips
She's all mine...
I got something
You got nothing to lose

So much more than you're used to

Maybe we can slip away
Right now we could use a little privacy
All too much attention from your friends in here

Trust me
I'm not on the make

Read My Lips
Duran Duran's "Read My Lips" stands as a defining track from their 1990 album *Liberty*, capturing the band's enduring pop sensibility and theatrical flair. Released during a period of significant commercial success, the song exemplifies the new wave and synth-pop styles that characterized their discography from the late 1980s through the early 1990s. As a staple of their live performances and radio rotations, the recording reinforces the group's reputation for blending catchy melodies with a polished, glamorous aesthetic. The track remains a quintessential example of their ability to craft anthemic pop songs that resonate across generations, solidifying their legacy in the history of British pop music.
