Pretending Songtext
von Michael Penn

Let′s say that was then
Here we go again
All our friends are filling the room
And 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
You can't let go and can′t hold on to
Anything sure
That's attached and secure
Looking for a lifeline online

Something to show
That I really do know
So that′s the file I'm sending

But baby, I′m pretending
Baby, I'm pretending
Even though I know better
And I can't refuse
′Cause although onerous
You′ve come to be depending

Baby, I'm pretending
Baby, I′m pretending
Baby, I'm pretending
