Girl I got your letter telling me you're coming home tonight

The lines were sweet and tender signed with all your love

Pretty words to make me feel alright



Then I read it over I got the feeling you're not completely mine

I held it to my chest, where you always rest

And I cried 'cos I can read between the lines



Between the lines I see you're making believe

But I can't help it, I still want you

Between the lines it's plain you're playing that old game

But I still love you, and I can't change



Baby I'll be waiting at the downtown station right on time

Reaching out to hold you, the way I always do

I'll pretend that you are only mine



And while I'm loving you I can't read between the lines

While I'm loving you I can't read between the lines
