Can't Pretend Songtext
von Ole Børud

I wonder what it means
When we say the things we say
Is it truth or just a play?
Or somewhere in between
What am I to do?
Please give me a tangible clue

I can′t pretend
I need the real thing
I can't pretend
Life goes on and something has got to give
I can′t pretend
I need to know the reason why

I won't come very far
In a passive state of mind
Leaving others to define
Who you really are
With an open heart
I'm trying to take it apart


I can′t pretend
No, I need the real thing
I can′t pretend
Life goes on and something has got to give
I can't pretend
′Cause I need the real thing
I can't pretend
Can you hear me?
I′m calling out your name

I can't pretend
I can′t pretend
Oh

I can't pretend
'Cause I need the real thing
I can′t pretend
No, life goes on and something has got to give
I can′t pretend
Oh no, I need the real thing
I can't pretend
′Cause I need to know the reason why
