Skipping ID3 tag

Hi all,
I am new to mp3 world. I am writing an application which should read an mp3 file and
if it finds ID3 header, should get the size of whole Id3 tag from last four bytes of header and then skip to the
start of actual audio data(e.g, tag size +hearder size). When i looked into it, the size I found in these
4 bytes are always incorrect (too large even if footer is included). Can anybody direct me in the right direction that how to get the right size of id3 so that i can skip directly to audio data.

Any help is appericiated.
Thanking you all in advance.
BR.
