Ain't Nothing You Can Do
Duke, 1964



If you could just read my mind
Then you'd know what I'm going to do
Whoa, if you could look into the future

You'd see me being used
You'd see me movin', whoa-oh, on down the line
If you could just read my mind

If you could just read my mind
Then you'd know just how I feel
Ooh, it ain't easy lovin' you so much
When I know your love is not real

You'd see me moving
Whoa-on down the line
If you could just read, just a-read my mind

You'd think that everything is alright
Just because you see me smile
Oh, oh, if you could look into the future
You'd see me counting every lie

You'd see me movin', whoa-oh, on down the line
If you could just read my mind

Why don't ya come on, an-a read my mind, baby?
You don't need a book to read my mind, no-no
Ooo, just read my mind
