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
