[Verse 1]

Play your cards face down

Darling every time

Making me figure out

What's inside your mind

I never know

I never know

I never know what you're thinking

Do my best

But I can't solve your mystery

Like a test

You don't leave a single clue for me

Why won't you show

Why won't you show

Why won't you show me anything else


[Pre-Chorus]

It's getting hard for me

Here in the dark honey

I think I'm giving up this time


[Chorus]

Cause I can't read your mind

I've tried

Don't make me play your game of twenty questions tonight

I'll admit it

Tell me what you gotta say

You're pretty but baby I don't want to play

Your guessing game

Your guessing game

Asking me to read

What's between your lines

Why can't we just pretend I know the answer this time

I'll admit it

Tell what you gotta say

You're pretty

But baby I don't want to play

Your guessing game

Your guessing game


[Verse 2]

Is it fun watching me

Trying to work it out

You're the one with the key

What's it all about

Why can't you see

Why can't you see

Why can't you

See I'm trying baby


[Pre-Chorus]

It's getting hard for me

Here in the dark honey

I think I'm giving up this time


[Chorus]

Cause I can't read your mind

I've tried

Don't make me play your game of twenty questions tonight

I'll admit it

Tell me what you gotta say

You're pretty

But baby I don't want to play

Your guessing game

Your guessing game

Asking me to read

What's between your lines

Why can't we just pretend I know the answer this time

I'll admit it

Tell me what you gotta say

You're pretty

But baby I don't want to play

Your guessing game

Your guessing game


[Bridge]

Now that we're face to face

Why don't you tell me straight

We could just skip this part

It's not too late

It's not too late

I'm sorry

Just tell me what I gotta do

I'm tired

Trying to get through to you

I wish I knew

I wish I knew

I'll admit it

Tell me what you gotta say

You're pretty

But baby I don't want to play


[Chorus]

I can't read your mind

I've tried

Don't make me play this game of twenty questions tonight

I'll admit it

Tell me what you gotta say

You're pretty

But baby I don't want to play

Your guessing game

Your guessing game

Asking me to read

What's between your lines

Why can't we just pretend I know the answer this time

I'll admit it

Tell me what you gotta say

You're pretty

But baby I don't want to play

Your guessing game

Your guessing game
