I never thought we'd come to this
Such trouble in just one kiss
We both belong to someone else
And somebody's bound to get blue
Being without you is making me blue
But what can I do?
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Oh, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
I, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
(We're more than friends) I pretend
I have been waiting, waiting at home
And tonight your man is all alone
We're breaking up two happy homes
But it's not enough to talk on the phone
Being without you is making me blue
But what can I do?
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Darling, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Baby, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
(We're more than friends) I pretend
We can't go on meeting like this
I think it's time for us to admit it
We gave up more than we could chew
There's more in thought than just us two
I'm unhappy without my preview
Can't wait that's being more untrue
And staying with a boy who can play a game
I'm in love, it's making me insane
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Baby, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Darling, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Baby, I pretend
(We're more than friends) I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Baby, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Baby, I pretend
(That we're more than friends) I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Baby, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Darling, I pretend
