If You Could Read My Mind |
|
- Olivia Newton John |
|
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 wishin 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 you cant see. |
|
If I could read your mind love, |
|
What a tale your thoughts could tell |
|
Just like a paperback novel, |
|
The kind the drugstore sell |
|
When you reach the part |
|
Where the heartaches come |
|
The hero would be me, |
|
Heroes often fail |
|
And you won't need that book again, |
|
Because the endings just too hard to take. |
|
I'd walk away like a movie star |
|
Who gets burned in a freeway script, |
|
Enter number two |
|
A movie queen to play the scene, |
|
Of bringing all the good things out in me |
|
But for now love lets be real, |
|
I never thought I could act this way |
|
And Ive got to say that I just dont get it |
|
I don't know where we went wrong |
|
But the feelins gone and I just cant get it back. |
|
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 wishin well |
|
In a castle dark or a fortress strong |
|
With chains upon my feet, |
|
The story always ends |
|
And if you read between the lines |
|
You'll know that I'm just tryin to understand |
|
The feelings that you lack |
|
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 feelins gone and I just cant get it back |
