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
