Let's say that was then.
|
Here we go again.
|
All our friends are filling the room.
|
It's like a play,
|
And the words that I'll say
|
Are not for you. They're for that costume.
|
Giving you hope
|
That when they pull the rope
|
It's on a happy ending. But baby, I'm pretending.
|
|
Isn't it hard?
|
The windows are barred
|
But you can't let go and can¡¯t hold onto
|
Anything sure,
|
That's attached and secure.
|
Looking for a lifeline online;
|
Something to show
|
That I really do know.
|
So that file I'm sending but baby I¡¯m pretending.
|
|
Baby I'm pretending even though I know better¡¦
|
|
But I can¡¯t refuse
|
'Cause, although on a ruse
|
You¡¯ve come to me depending, baby I'm pretending.
|
|
Baby I'm pretending.
|
Baby I'm pretending.
