[Verse 1]
Can't control my thoughts
But I'm trying every day
I know it's not your fault
That I get this way
But sometimes I want impossible things, mmm
When you hear my voice, what does it say?
Need a language, we're lost in translation
From impossible thoughts and feelings, oh
[Chorus]
Why don't you know before I know?
What I need to say, before I can
How come you don't have the answer
Before I asked you the question?
Wish you could read my mind, read my mind
My mind
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, mmm-mmm, ooh-ooh-oh-oh
Mmm-mmm, ooh-ooh-oh-oh
Mmm-mmm, ooh-ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
It's been a long time since we been together (Ooh-ooh)
In the same world, just want you to look at me
Like I was everything you ever wanted again (Everything, ooh)
[Bridge]
Baby, I know it ain't always easy here
And I appreciate you, I appreciate you
Just hold me like I'm everything you wanted again
(Ooh)
[Chorus]
Why don't you know before I know?
What I need to say, before I can
How come you don't have the answer
Before I asked you the question?
Wish you could read my mind, read my mind
My mind
Why don't you know before I know?
What I need to say, before I can
How come you don't have the answer
Before I asked you the question?
Wish you could read my mind, read my mind
My mind
[Outro]
(Baby, baby, won't you read my mind? You know I love you)
(Baby, baby, won't you read my mind?)
(Tell me what you're feeling all the time)
(Tell me what you're feeling all the time)
(Baby, baby, can't you read my thoughts?)
(Baby, baby, can't you read my mind?)
(Read my mind, read my mind)
(Baby, baby, won't you read my mind?)
(Baby, baby, won't you read my mind?)
(Tell me what you're feeling all the time)
(Tell me what you're feeling all the time)
(Baby, baby, can't you read my mind?)

In this song, I was half-mocking myself and all the impossible things I want in a relationship, but judging from conversations with female friends I’m not the only one!
