If my smile
|
Ever fails to make you swoon
|
If my kiss
|
Doesn't send you to the moon
|
If my arms
|
Hold no charms
|
There's no need for alarm
|
Don't reveal how you feel
|
Just pretend
|
|
If your heart
|
Starts to long for other men
|
If your eye
|
Tends to wander now and then
|
I know it seems
|
The grass is green
|
But that's just the stuff of dreams
|
Don't be fooled, don't be cruel
|
Just pretend
|
|
Just pretend
|
I'm still the one you need, dear
|
I won't care if it's only make believe, dear
|
Don't discard me like I'm the latest trend
|
Go through the motions of devotion
|
And pretend
|
|
Oh love
|
Is often tedious and hard, dear
|
It can't always be
|
A Hallmark card, dear
|
Try to find the spark within your heart again
|
Go through the motions of devotion
|
And pretend
|
|
I'd rather that you fake it
|
If you left I couldn't take it
|
You got my heart so don't you break it
|
