I Read You Wrong

     I thought it meant something to you
         I thought it was a song
           I thought it made sense
       but I read you wrong

   the days are okay
  but the nights are long
     I might as well be in Beirut
       or even Hong Kong

   you wore a bikini 
    a little red thong
   I thought it was for me
   but I read you wrong

        You longed for another
     a guy I never met
       but he has more money than me
     I'm willing to bet

  Now I know you are shallow
   and hard and cheap
 I'll find someone deeper
   to read me to sleep.
