You 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

It's getting hard for me
Here in the dark, honey
I think I'm giving up this time

'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
Your 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

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

It's getting hard for me
Here in the dark, honey
I think I'm giving up this time

'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
Your 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

Now that we're face to face
Why don't you turn 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, just tell me what you gotta say
You're pretty, but baby I don't want to play

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
Your 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
