Van Morrison — Read Between the Lines

I had to read between the lines 'Cause it didn't make sense Had to read between the lines 'Cause it looked like somethin' else Well, [I would be ashamed?] It might make somebody cry Had to read between the lines Had to find out why Had to read between the lines That's what my mama said Had to read between the lines In case it went right to my head Had to read between the lines It might be a big mistake If I couldn't see though it and everything was fake Had to read between the lines Right where I signed my name Had to read between the lines To keep staying in the game You had the money in your hand I had somewhere else to go Had to read between the lines To get back in the know Read between the lines Read between the lines Read between the lines Had to read between the lines That's what my mama said Had to read between the lines I didn't let it go to my head Had to read between the lines It might just be a mistake If I couldn't see though it when everything was just fake Read between the lines Read between the lines Read between the lines
