Pretend

if i ask you a question
are you going to lie to me?
is that your question?
because that one is easy

it's gripping the city
and hittin the town
and no one on earth is
doing this now

if you can pretend
and i can pretend
pretending won't end
and then and well then

if you take the chances
i'll take the bows
saying 'no one on earth is
doing this now'

but if i ask you a question
are you going to lie to me?
is that your question?
because that one is easy

if you don't pretend
and i don't pretend
pretending might end but pretend
can pretend to end, that's right

you can't pretend
yes i can, yes i can, yes i can
you can't pretend
yes i can, yes i can, yes i can
