I Can Read You Lyrics by Raúl Esparza, Jessica Phillips
Leap Of Faith: The Musical - Original Broadway Cast Recording
2012
Jonas: I betcha think you're pretty tough, and sure you are, but not enough Still you're the type of girl who likes to flirt with danger Marla: Is that all? Jonas: You haven't had a date in years, the locals leave ya bored to tears But you'd be be tempted by a charming handsome stranger Marla: Oh please Jonas: It'd help a ton if he's gone by Monday I reckon So it's clean and done before anyone has to know I told ya so, see I can read you like an open book And honey chapter one looks dynamite I can read you with a single look So forgive me if I'm staring, but you clearly can't help sharin' 'Cause darlin' it's all there in black and white Marla: A few lucky guesses. My turn Jonas: You're out of your league Marla: Here. I hope you can hold your liquor I betcha think you're pretty slick The type who doesn't miss a trick and I can see you've got your act down to the letter Jonas: Compliments don't count Marla: I know you're charming, goodness yes, not half as much though as you'd guess But plenty enough to fool the folks who don't know better Jonas: Cheers Marla: And in every town all the girls lay down when you beckon So you get all hot when there's one who's got any fight Damn right, yeah I can read you like an open book The kind that I put down by chapter two Both: Aw honey, I can read you with a single look Jonas: And it seems like a best seller Marla: At least the tale if not the teller and honey, even Helen Keller could see through you Jonas: My turn. You spend your days in the heat and haze, sleepwalk through the town You watch it turn to dust and blow away You talk to folks, maybe tell some jokes, smile when they seem down And swear the rain'll be here any day Late at night in the failing light You're tired to your soul and everything inside comes bursting through Still, you keep it hid so your poor sweet kid won't see you lose control And pretend that you're just fine, and hope to God it's true. Too much? Marla: I can take it. Can you? I think you read folks like you do to keep the world from reading you It's hard to hit a target that keeps moving See, I don't know the life you've had But someone somewhere hurt you bad And you don't want that wound to start improving So you come on hard and won't drop your guard for a second And you pick apart everybody's heart so your own Can stay unknown Jonas: Can we stop now? Marla: See, I can read you like an open book You're pretty much like me down at the core Jonas: Oh I can read you Marla: Yes I can read you Both: Let's turn the page and read a little more
