Cultured Pearls Not This Time
I've been sitting on my bed
With a glass on my hand
Tryin' to figure out a way for me to understand
Through this talk we've just had
The questions I have asked somebody yesterday
About the sign that's in your eyes
About the biggest smile
All your face in the way
Questions I had asked somebody
How you feel only eyes reveal
Your answer's not for real
But I can't read your mind
(Oh) Not this time
I just wanna know what you're going through
I don't feel wrong about asking you
(But) I can't read your mind
Not this time
I just wanna know what you're going through
I don't feel wrong about asking you
(But) I can't read your mind
(Not this time, this time)
There are times when you don't wanna say
That there are problems in your head that you can't explain
I have been that way
Baby, there's a hunger, a kiss or two
But not forever do
If only I'd reach you
But I can't read your mind
(Oh) Not this time
I just wanna know what you're going through
I don't feel wrong about asking you
(But) I can't read your mind
Not this time
I just wanna know what you're going through
I don't feel wrong about asking you
(But) I can't read your mind
(Not this time, this time)
Maybe I'm a child
Maybe I'm a woman
Maybe, I am old
Maybe I said something
Reasons - to push me away
Maybe I have laughed
Maybe I have cried
But never did I try to put hurt on your side
But I can't read your mind
(Oh) Not this time
I just wanna know what you're going through
I don't feel wrong about asking you
I can't read your mind
Not this time
I just wanna know what you're going through
I don't feel wrong about asking you
I can't read your mind
This time
I can't read your mind
Not this time, not this time, no
Not...this...not this time
Can't read your mind
Oh, not this time
