Read Between The Lines Songtext

Van Morrison

von Three Chords And The Truth

Read Between The Lines Songtext
I had to read between the lines
Because it didn't make sense
Had to read between the lines
'Cause it looked like something else
Well, that would be a shame
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 momma 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 through it
And everything was fake

I 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

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Read between the lines
Read between the lines
Read between the lines
Yeah, yeah
Hey, hey
Had to read between the lines

I had to read between the lines, yeah
That's what my momma said
Had to read between the lines
I didn't let it go to my head
Had to read between the lines
It might be a big mistake
If I couldn't see through it
When everything was just fake

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Read between the lines
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Whoa-oh-oh
Read between the lines
