You could read my mind love

You could read my mind love

If you could read my mind love

What a tale my thoughts could tell

Just like an old time movie

'Bout a ghost from a wishing well

In a castle dark or a fortress strong

With chains around my feet

You know that ghost is me

I will never be set free

As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read my mind love

If I could read your mind love

What a tale your thoughts could tell

Just like a paperback novel

The kind the drugstores sell

Then you reached the part where the heartaches come

The hero would be me

But heroes often fail

And you won't read that book again

Because the ending's just too hard to take

If you could read my mind love

If you could read my mind love

I'd walk away like a movie star

Who gets burned in a three way script

Enter number two

A movie queen to play the scene

Of bringing all the good things out in me

But for now love let's be real

I never thought I could feel this way

And I've got to say that I just don't get it

I don't know where we went wrong

But the feeling's gone

And I just can't get it back

If you could read my mind love

You could read my mind love

You could read my mind love

You could read my mind love

Baby you be I'd walk away like a movie star

Who gets burned in a three way script

Enter number two

A movie queen to play the scene

Of bringing all the good things out in me

But now let's be real

I never thought I could feel this way

And I've got to say that I just don't get it

I don't know where we went wrong

But the feeling's gone

And I just can't get it back

If you could read my mind love

If you could read my mind love

You could read my mind love

Come on baby

You could read my mind love

You could read my mind love
