If You Could Read My Mind

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, babe

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts would 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

I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

If you could read my mind, yeah

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drug stores sell

When you reach the part where the heartache comes
The hero would be you
Heroes often fail

Never thought 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 back
If you could read my mind

If you could, if you could (oh-yeah)
If you could read my mind (if you could read)
If you could (my mind), if you could (yeah)
If you could read my mind

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sells
And when you reach the part where the heartache comes
The hero would be you
Heroes often fail

Never thought I'd feel this way (never)
And I've got to say that I just don't get it (yeah)
I don't know where we went wrong (we went wrong)
But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it (get it)

If you could, if you could (oh-yeah)
If you could read my mind (if you could read my mind)
If you could, if you could (yeah)
If you could read my mind (if you could read my mind)
If you could, if you could...
