How'd you know to wear your hair like that
How'd you know to turn up that song
How'd you know them little tore up jeans
Was gonna tear me up and turn me on
Girl its like you know me too good
But you barely know me at all
Yeah the way its going tonight
You probably know I'm ready to fall 'cause

Baby you're a little mind, baby you're a little mind reader
Yeah that's what you are
You play it off a little shy but baby you're a heart stealer
And right here in this car
Its like you knew that smile was gonna melt me down
Its like you knew those lips are what I'm needing right now
And girl when you lay 'em on mine
Yeah its like your reading my mind

And girl its like you got a crystal ball
Like you got a little gypsy side
Its like you knew that sweet perfume
That you got on was gonna get me high
Well how'd you know what I'm thinking right now
How'd you know what I was about to say
How'd you know to whisper in my ear
Let's take this party back to my place

Baby you're a little mind, baby you're a little mind reader
Yeah that's what you are
You play it off a little shy but baby you're a heart stealer
And right here in this car
Its like you knew that smile was gonna melt me down
Its like you knew those lips are what I'm needing right now
And girl when you lay 'em on mine
Yeah its like your reading my mind

Yeah that's what you are

Its like you knew just when to lead on in
And take my hand like you had it all planned
And girl you've got me figured out, don't cha now?

Baby you're a little mind, baby you're a little mind reader
Yeah that's what you are
You play it off a little shy but baby you're a heart stealer
And right here in this car
Its like you knew that smile was gonna melt me down
Its like you knew those lips are what I'm needing right now
And girl when you lay 'em on mine
Yeah its like your reading my mind
Yeah that's what you are
Oh ain't you girl
