If you could read my mind, 
then you'd know what I'm gonna do 
Oh, if you could look into the future, 
you'd see me bein' you, 
You'd see me movin', oh, down the line 
If you could just read my mind 
If you could just read my mind 
Why don't you come on and read my mind 
You don't need a book to read my mind, no, 
just read my mind 
If you could just read my mind, then you'd know just how I feel 
Oh, it ain't easy lovin' you so much, when I Know your love is not real 
You'd see me movin', oh, down the line 
If you could just read my mind 
You think that everything is alright, just because you see me smile 
Oh, you think you're lookin' to the future, and seein' me count every lie 
You'd see me movin', oh, down the line 
If you could just read my mind
