If You Could Read My Mind - Lyrics - Viola Wills

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 drugstores sell And when you reached the part where the heartaches come, the *** would be me But heroins 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)
