        B
It's no ordinary mind
That can read between the lines
And can say which way the fates are fating
When you're skating on thin ice
Crocodiles in paradise
Just below your feet they lie in waiting
           G
You don't have to take my side
          A
But these arms are open wide
          G                             A
There is something in your eyes still glowing
           Bm
It's your husband, it's your wife
      E
Your money, it's your life
G                  A        E    A
It's that special kind of knowing

Chorus:
D
It happens all the time
G
I read your mind
D                          G
Where dreams take second place
                   D
I'll invade your space
                      C
Your secrets will be mine
             E
What's your sign?

There are way too many flies
On the Queen of Compromise
'Cause she'll never know the act she's selling
She could try me out for size
'Cause there's something on the rise
And it might just help reduce the swelling
We won't need to publicise
I don't think that would be wise
So this something we must hide can keep on growing
It's your husband, it's your wife
Your money, it's your life
It's that special kind of knowing

Chorus:
It happens all the time
I read your mind
Where dreams take second place
I'll invade your space
Your secrets will be mine
What's your sign?

It's so good to be alive
I can count from one to five
But I can't control the way things are going
It's your husband it's your wife
Your money, it's your life
It's that special kind of knowing
It's that special kind of knowing
It's that special kind of knowing
