If only I could your mind
If only I could your 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 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 only)
If I could read your mind love, what a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel, the kind the d**tores sell
And when you reached the part where the heartaches come, the h**n would be me
But h**ns often fail
And you won't read that book again because the ending's just too hard to take
(If only I could your mind love)
(If only I could your mind love)
I'd walk away like a movie star who gets burned in a three way script
And enter number two
A movie king 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
Ooh baby
(If only, if only you could my mind love)
(If only, if only I could your mind love)
Ooh baby, you see
I'd walk away like a movie star who gets burned in a three way script
And enter number two
A movie king 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, 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 only, if only, if only I could your mind love)
(If only, if only, if only I could your mind love) If I could red your mnd
(If only, if only, if only I could your mind love) Ooh, what a tale your thoughts could tell
(If only, if only, if only I could your mind love) Come on baby, come on baby, won't you let me read your mind
(If only, if only, if only I could your mind love) Wanna read, read your mind
(If only, if only, if only I could your mind love)
