"Read Between The Lines" lyrics - VAN MORRISON

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
