Diana Ross - did you read the morning paper?

화자는 아침 신문에서 사랑에 가득한 커플의 사진을 발견하고, 그 커플이 자신의 파트너와 함께 있다는 사실을 깨닫는다
이를 통해 파트너의 늦은 업무와 거짓말이 드러나며, 관계의 위기를 느끼게 된다
결국 화자는 자신의 감정과 배신감에 괴로워하게 된다

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
