I can read between the lines



Girl I got your letter telling me you're coming home tonight The lines were sweet and tender signed with all your love Pretty words to make me feel alright Then I read it over I got the feeling you're not completely mine I held it to my chest, where you always rest And I cried 'cos I can read between the lines Between the lines I see you're making believe But I can't help it, I still want you Between the lines it's plain you're playing that old game But I still love you, and I can't change Baby I'll be waiting at the downtown station right on time Reaching out to hold you, the way I always do I'll pretend that you are only mine And while I'm loving you I can't read between the lines While I'm loving you I can't read between the lines
