If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old—timemovie
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
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
The kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part where
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too
I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three—way script
A movie queen to play the scene
But for now, love, let's be real
I never thought I could act this way
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
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 fort
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just try
The feelings that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
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
