If you could read my mind

Each verse below has four mistakes.  Listen and circle the
mistakes.

If you could read my mind, Love
What a tale my thoughts would tell.
Just like an old dime movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark,
       Or a fortress strong
With chains upon my foot,
You know that ghost is near.
And I will ever be set free
As long as I'm a ghost you can't see.

If I could read your mind, Love
What a tale your thoughts would tell.
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sell.
When you reach the part
       Where the headaches gone
The hero should be me--
Heroes often fail.
And you won't read that book again
Because the endings just too hard to take.

I walk away
       Like a movie star
Who got burned in a threeway script.
Enter number two--
A movie queen to play the scene
Of wringing all the good things out in me,
But for now, love, let's be real.
I never thought I would act this way,
And I've got to say
       That I just don't get it.
I don't know where you went wrong,
But the feelings gone
       And I just can't get it back.

If you could read my mind, Love
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old dime movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark,
Or a fortress strong,
With chains upon my foot
The story always ends.
If you read between the lines,
You'd know that I'm just trying
To understand
The feelings that you pack.
I never thought I could feel this way,
And I've got to say
That I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong,
But the feelings gone
And I just can't get it back.

If you could read my mind, Love
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark,
       Or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet,
You know that ghost is near.
And I won't ever be set free
As long as I'm a ghost you can't see.

The hero would be me--
Heroes often fail.
And you won't read that book again
Because the endings just too hard to take.
