if you could read my mind

Belinda Carlisle

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 can t see

If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
Heroes often fail
And you won t read that book again
Because the ending s just too hard to take

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 knew I d 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 bck

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
But story always ends
And if you read between the lines
You ll know that I m just tryin to understand
The feeling that you lack
I never knew 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
