(intro)
Something is wrong, but he won't say 
The way he's acting should give it away 
Stayin' out late not sayin' a word 
Silence says everything  
The sign posts they are red 
There's a rough road up ahead 
Well, I could spell it out in black and white 
It's no use 'cause you won't try 
To see what's going on around you 

(chorus)
Girl if you don't know by now 
Guess I'll have to spell it out           
He may not say what's on his mind 
'Gotta learn to read between the lines

You played the fool, oh you played it well 
But it's time you should be changin'               
With your head in the sand it's hard to tell 
Just what he's trying to do 
Half truths and all his lies 
And them half-baked alibis                                 
Well now, you've been holdin' on too hard for too long 
 
(chorus)

 (solos)

(chorus x 2) 

oh no no, oh no no, read between the lines
oh no no, oh no no, gotta read between the 
girl if you don't know by now i guess i'll have to spell it out for you.
