| 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 |
