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 upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost
that you can't see...
If I could read
your mind, love
What a tale
your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
Oh, 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 bare...
Ooh... yeah...
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 you
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......
Oh... baby ooh... ah...
Baby, baby you see
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
And bringing all
the good things
out in me
And 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...... ah...
If I could read
your mind, ah... ah...
I could read your mind
Come on, tell me
Read, read your mind
Ooh, oh yeah
If I could only
read your mind
