Read Between The Lines - Aaliyah

Late afternoon, the sun’s going down

I ca-ca-call on your cell (why's he in such a hurry)

Leaving the room, he’s mumbling, too

Asking for his shoes, (just leaving outt he blue)

No explanation, no actual location

Just watching him pacing (wonder who he’s stressing)

Little conversation, leavin' no debation, he left the door swingin'

You better open your mi-in-ind

To read between the lines

You gotta read between the lines-ines

You gotta read between the li-ines

You gotta read between the lines

9 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)

I s-search for the median, now he’s a comedian

That’s all the more reason

(he's changing like the seasons)

Are you still pleasing, well soon you’ll be leaving

Which one will be grieving?

You better open your mind

To gotta read between the lines

You gotta read between the lines-ines

You gotta read between the li-ines

You gotta read between the lines

Your replies are getting old

It’s in his eyes, you gotta read between the lines

Lies are gettin told

Look in his eyes, yougotta read between the lines

Your replies are getting old

It’s in his eyes, you gotta read between the lines

Lies are gettin told

Look in his eyes, yougotta read between the lines

Hope you don’t think you can throw the line over me

'cause I, I know what’s going on I hope you ain’t making plans on running me Cause that, that ain’t what I’m on Hope you don’t think you can throw the line over me

'cause you’ll look up, and I’ll be gone

I hope you ain’t making plans on running me

'cause I read between the lines

Who got you thinkin' you ishh ain’t been stinkin'?

My temperatures peakin'

(why are 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)

Changing the story, or trying to ignore me Still reaching out for me

(but still I’m hardly reaching)

Give me a reason to put you back on line

You’ve wasted enough time

I had to open my mind

To read between the lines-ines

You gotta read between the li-ines

You gotta read between the lines-ines

You gotta read between the li-ines

You gotta read between the lines-ines

You gotta read between the li-ines

You gotta read between the lines

Your replies are gettin' old

It’s in his eyes, you gotta read between the lines

Lies are gettin' told

Look in his eyes, gotta read between the lines

Your replies are gettin' old

It’s in his eyes, you gotta read between the lines

Lies are gettin' told

Look in his eyes, gotta read between the lines
