Read My Mind Lyrics

Samantha Mumba

Did you catch that look that was meant for you
Did you know where smile was leading to
Did you hear that sigh
You know what I want you to do

Not a single word I need to hear
Cos' your body's stuck and I'm glad of it
Baby you can bring it on through
You know we're gonna get it together
I guess it's just a question of time

You should read my mind
Give my body some attention
Oh boy (oh boy)
You should read my mind
It's the perfect situation
Here tonight

Did you feel that touch way out of race
Time to kiss then move to your place
Feels so good, it's almost real to me
Now I don't know where it's coming from
I just know where we belong
Oh you're doing something to me
You know we don't need explanation
It's no surprise or mystery

You should read my mind
Give my body some attention
Oh boy (oh boy)
You should read my mind
It's the perfect situation
Here tonight

Are you seeing something that you like?
Do you really want my love tonight?
Are you gonna give me all your time?
And can you guess what's on my mind?

You should read my mind x6

You should read my mind
Give my body some attention
Oh boy (oh boy)
You should read my mind
Oh the perfect situation
Here tonight

You should read my mind
Give my body some attention
Oh boy (oh boy)
You should read my mind
It's the perfect situation
Here tonight

You should read my mind x4
