Did You Read The Morning Paper? - Diana Ross

Did you read the morning paper

Did you see the front headline

Did you read the morning paper

Baby let me lend you mine

There on the front page was a picture

Of a crowd as they watched a parade passing by

And through the haze of last nights sleep

Something familiar caught my eye

There was a couple looking so much in love, yes

They had a front line view

And as I pulled the paper closer

I realized standing next to her it was you

Did you read the morning paper

Did you see the front headline

Did you read the morning paper

Baby let me lend you mine

Now I know why you’ve been working late each night

And no longer have desire to ever hold me tight

And your busy, busy schedule was all a lie

Oh, even the dream with a bonus, oh just another alibi

Did you read the morning paper

Did you see the front headline

Did you read the morning paper

Baby let me lend you mine

Did you get the news today

Did you read the morning paper

Isn’t the picture very clear

Where do we go from here

Did you read the morning paper

Did you see the front headlines

Did you read the morning paper

Baby let me lend you mine

Oh, what now

Did you read the morning paper

Did you get the news today
