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
