Lyrics

If it's got what I want
If it's got what I need
Then I'll pick it up
And I'll give it a read
If it's got what it takes
If it's doing it for me
Then I'll read it again
Because that's just me

I've got to have it
I love the smell of a page
I can't help it
Because I'm a reader

If it's only a tweet
Or a Ulysses
Then I'm right at home
I'm feeling at ease
If it's only a word
Or a tome or two
Then I want to read it
How about you?

You know I love it
I love the words on a screen
I can't help it

If it's making me laugh
If it's making me cry
If it's telling me how
If it's telling me why
If it's got what I want
If it's got what I need
Then I'm eating it up
Because I love to read

I've got to have it
I love that reading all right
I can't help it
Because I'm a
Because I'm a
Because I'm a reader
