mind read (it belonged to you)

Singer:loudon wainwright iii

i knew i forgot something - i guess i always do

i'm so absent minded when it comes to you

i forgot i promised to fulfill your need

thank you for reminding me

your mind is hard to read

oh

but it was what attracted me to you

don't you forget

i knew you had a problem the moment that we met

thought that i could solve it

i doubted that was true

that thing was bigger than us both and it belong to you

yeah

it belonged to you

yeah

it belonged to you

oh

but i'm at your disposal

that's part of our deal

i'll try not to despise you - i know what it feels like

and if you have a breakdown

i can make it well

if you got an ugly secret

well then i'm the one to tell

oh

and it's politics involved in this and economics too

theatrics and aerobic exercises to go to

it's like climbing mountains and falling out of trees

it can take breath away

but it can scab your knees

scab your knees

scab your knees

they used to say that god is love and probably they still do

but if you ask me love is when i get along with you

and that is never easy

sometimes it's a chore

'cause after everybody's had enough you want some more

i knew i forgot something - i guess i always do

i'm so absent minded when it comes to you

i forgot i promised to fulfill your need

thank you for reminding me

your mind. yeah

your mind. oh

your mind. is hard to read

that's hard to read

so hard to read
