[Verse 1]
I fell in love with a girl on a bicycle
The florena dress climbing into her hair
Was it an economic choice or an environmental voice
That took her brown leather boots to rotations around a wheel?
[Chorus 1]
But it's all pretend
Oh, never would I see her face again
Keep my head down
I'll never be that face in the crowd
I'll never be that face in the crowd
No, I'll never be that face in the crowd
[Verse 2]
Well, I got it up for the girl at the corner shop
Once asking for change, now she's telling me not to stop
Was it compatibility or convenient company
That results in love? I find so hard to see, see
[Chorus 2]
But it's all pretend
I couldn't work the courage up again
On a single side of a double bed I think about the trend
Oh, I wonder why things are the same again
Oh, I wonder why things are the same again
[Verse 3]
Well, I grew my beard just to watch it grow
I cut my hair to see how it goes
But if you change the cover, it don't change what is under
In emperor's clothes I walk out into the thunder
[Chorus 3]
And I pretend
That true love would find me in the end
But if not now, will someone please tell me when?
Will someone please tell me when?
Will someone please tell me when?
