Read Between the Lines

You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines, lines, lines
You got to read between the lines, lines
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Late afternoon, the sun's going down
I call on your cell (why's he in such a hurry?)
Leaving the room, he's mumbling too
Now, now lookin' for his shoes (he's leavin' out the room, room)
No explanation, no actual location
Just watching him pacing (wonder who he's stressing, stressing?)
Little conversation, leavin' no debation
He left the door swingin'

You better open your mind
To read between the lines
You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines
You got to read between the lines

Nine in the morning, up, up, up way before breakfast
Homeboy gettin' restless
(The room is full of questions)
Little replyin', whole lot of denyin'
You're steady collidin'
(So why do he keep on trying, trying?)
I search for the median, now he's a comedian
That's all the more reason
(He's changing like the seasons, seasons)
Are you still pleasing?
Well, soon you'll be leaving
Which one will be grieving?

You better open your mind
To read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines ('tween the lines)
You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines

Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes (in his eyes)
Got to read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (look in his eyes)
You got to read between the lines

Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes (in his eyes)
Got to read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (look in his eyes)
You got to read between the lines (yeah, yeah)

Hope you don't think you pullin' one over me
'Cause I, I know what's going on
I hope you ain't been planning on running me
'Cause that, that ain't what I'm on, on
Hope you don't think you pullin' one over me
'Cause you'll look up, and I'll be gone
Hope you ain't making plans on running me
'Cause I read between the lines

Who got you thinkin' you ish ain't been stinkin'?
My temperature's peakin'
(Why is you barely speakin'?)
I'm bustin' his bubble, and he know he in trouble
He's talkin' in doubles
(I'm listening but hardly believing, believing)
Changing the story, or trying to ignore me
Still reaching out for me
(But, still, I'm hardly reaching, reaching)
Give me a reason to put you back on line
You've wasted enough time

I had to open my mind
Got to read between the lines, lines (yeah)
You got to read between the lines ('tween the lines)
You got to read between the lines, lines (oh yeah)
You got to read between the lines ('tween the lines, yeah)

You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines
You got to read between the lines

Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes (in his eyes)
Got to read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (look in his eyes)
You got to read between the lines ('tween the lines)
