I Can Read Between The Lines

by Roy Orbison

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
