If I Could Read Your Mind

I want you back on my track
Knick-knack paddywhack, I'll crack...
When you go away today and stay at bay
While I'm here, drink beer, steer clear, I fear my dear...
That I've lost, I'm exhaust-ed, this cross that I'd like to toss...
In the sea, let it be, come to me, we'll be free to live happily
Yay, everyday, we can play, baby whaddya say?

If I could read your mind, there's no telling what I'd find
I'd probably feel inclined to stop the tape and hit rewind
Streamlined!

Making love in the sun, have fun, we're one, we're done...
Lying out in the shade, lemonade, masquerade in the giant parade...
Of our life, man and wife, fork and knife, cuts through trouble and strife...
When we're here, and you're near, c'mon baby dry that tear!
Did I come on too strong? I was wrong, you were right, let's not fight every night
We can play it your way, everyday, so just come out and say it!

But I can't read your mind, tell me what's the use in trying?
If you would be so kind, would you please offer me a sign...
Cloud nine!
