Aaliyah - Read Between The Lines

Lyrics -

[Intro]
Uh-huh
You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines, lines, lines
You got to read between the lines, lines
Uh, uh, uh, uh

[Verse 1]
Late afternoon, the sun goin' down
A call, a call on the cell (Why's he in such a hurry?)
Leavin' the room, he's mumblin' too
Now, now lookin' for his shoes (He's leavin' out the room, room)
No explanation, no actual location
Just watchin' him pacin' (Wonder who he's stressin', stressin')
Little conversation, leavin' no debation, he left the door swingin'

[Chorus]
You better open your mind
You got to read between the lines
You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines
You got to read between the lines

[Verse 2]
Nine in the mornin', up, up, up way before breakfast
Homeboy gettin' restless (The room is full of questions)
Little replyin', whole lot of denyin'
You're steady collidin' (So why do he keep on trying, trying?)
I search for the median, now he's a comedian
That's all the more reason (He's changing like the seasons, seasons)
Are you still pleasin', well soon you'll be leavin'

Which one will be grievin'?

[Chorus]
You better open your mind
You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines, lines (Between the lines)
You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines

[Post-Chorus]
Your replies are gettin' old
It's in his eyes (In his eyes), got to read between the lines (Oh)
Your lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (Look in his eyes), got to read between the lines
Your replies are gettin' old
It's in his eyes (In his eyes), got to read between the lines
Your lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (Look in his eyes), got to read between the lines
Hey, hope you don't think you're pullin' one over me
'Cause I, I know what's going on
I hope you ain't been plannin' on runnin' me
'Cause that, that ain't what I'm on
Hope you don't think you're pullin' one over me
'Cause you'll look up and I'll be gone
Hope you ain't makin' plans on runnin' me
'Cause I read between the lines

[Verse 3]
Who got you thinkin', ya ish ain't been stinkin'?
My temperature's peakin' (Why is he barely speakin'?)
I'm bustin' his bubble and he know he in trouble
He's talkin' in doubles (I'm listenin', but hardly believin', believin')
Changin' the story or tryna ignore me
Still reachin' out for me (But still I'm hardly reachin', reachin')
Give me a reason to put you back on line

You've wasted enough time

[Chorus]
I had to open my mind
Got to read between the lines, lines (Yeah)
You got to read between the lines, lines (Between the lines)
You got to read between the lines, lines (Oh, yeah)
You got to read between the lines, lines (Between the lines, yeah)
You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines

[Post-Chorus]
Your replies are gettin' old
It's in his eyes (In his eyes), got to read between the lines (Mmm)
Your lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (In his eyes), got to read between the lines
Your replies are gettin' old (Between the lines)
It's in his eyes (It's in his eyes), got to read between the lines
Your lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (In his eyes), got to read between the lines
Your replies are gettin' old
It's in his eyes (In his eyes), got to read between the lines (Between the lines)
Your lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (In his eyes), got to read between the lines
Your replies are gettin' old (Gettin' old)
It's in his eyes (In his eyes), got to read between the lines (Yeah)
Your lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (Look in his eyes), got to read between the lines

Aaliyah was so good at futurism it's crazy. It sounds like there is an Iphone message notification going on in the background... TWENTY YEARS BEFORE.

[MrGenoboss]

Static's voice and Aaliyah's voice mesh together so well

[xbabygirltx]

I really wish Aaliyah & Static could have made more music together. Their sound was so unique & ahead of its time.

[jonathancineus]

I’ve had this CD for 20 years and burned the songs into the files for my Apple library this entire time… but knowing that the rest of the world is listening to Aaliyah with me now is a brand new experience.

[WillWize]

So hard to grasp that both the people on this track are no longer on earth. They were both geniuses at what they did.❤️ I loved the Salsa vibes too

[tee]

2001 was not ready for this album when it was released! SMH.. I still have my original copy on CD. Aaliyah was absolutely ingenious as artist. She knew what worked!

[kyrelterrhaun]

“It’s in his eyes, Gotta read between the lines” - Aaliyah 🔥❤️🕊

[goldenxronnie]

The imagery. A Latin R&B/Rock anthem. The lyrics just speak to me. One of Aaliyah’s best.

[biel]

the way Aaliyah interprets each song on this album is so different man, her tone in each song conveys different emotions that if you pay close attention you can feel each one them

[Simeautomatic]

*"YOUR REPLIES ARE GETTIN' OLD!!!"*
*"YOUR LIES ARE GETTIN' TOLD!!"*

[VaynardMaynard]

These deep vocals and the gorgeous way she plays with her voice just has me crying! Man I really miss her! I miss her gift! That voice was just so touching! When she says I had to open my mi i iiind, I lose it 😭😭😭😭 such a beautiful person and beautiful spirit ❤

[blink_ark]

Her music and her style was so ahead of her time .... It's such a shame that destiny didn't allow Aaliyah to fully reach her I was born in 2004 and I know about her somewhere between 2015 - 2016 ever Since I know her I feel so attached to her .. she is like a family to me .. I cried so many times thinking about her ... The pain can never go away .. 😖😖

[angelalove_]

How dare anybody dislike this video or song. It's pure perfection filled with layers of beautiful harmonies, Latin instruments, and her rich voice. I love this song!

[xx_deeamdolldiamond_]

This is a Banger! This song sounds like it could have just came out fresh in 2021! Aaliyah was so head of her time! ❤️❤️❤️

[JORDANLEWISFILM]

Imagine a video in this club after Rock The Boat ⛵🎶 the choreo would have been crazy 💃🏽🕺🏾

[AaliyahsFan]

You can tell from the message in the lyrics of this track that, subjectively, she is talking about toxic people who are telling lies to the public, in addition to distorting and hiding their true natures, and this can fit perfectly with the description of several powerful men in the music industry, who commit crimes and at the same time use the power and influence they have, whether in politics, justice or the military, to cover it all up and appear innocent in the eyes of the public/fans. Aaliyah was very visionary, and she is trying to say through her art that it is important and necessary for people to see and know how to perceive reality and the details, by reading between the lines. Jaguar Wright is right in everything she says.

[onewayonly]

Lately I've been really feeling this song, could've been a potential single. Someone said they could potentially hear Enrique Iglesias featuring on this back in the day, and I totally agree. Would've been hot!

[jeremyanderson]

This album will never get old. Been playing it for 20 years now and still sounds fresh every time I play it

[donovanmarcus]

I'm so glad my mom used to play this in the car when I just a kid in the back seat. I use to try to recite the lyrics but didn't know what she was talking about lol. All I knew was that beat was dope! Now as an adult I can appreciate the true talent she really was. Rest In Paradise Baby Girl ❤🙏🏿

[TrevonGray]

Never heard this song as much as I love I can’t believe I never came across it on top of that whoever keeps making these dope ass visuals for Aaliyah I love y’all for that. She is a Queen She’s the only star that had an impact on me.👸 ❤
