She pretends it's you When she's giving him her mouth, Her words, her tenderness She pretends it's you Who's holding her and showing her compa**ion When he wants her nakedness She Pretends... You're sharing secrets with her Never holding back the truth She Pretends... You're stealing moments together Arm in arm with you when she's with him She pretends you're laughing and crying together Swimming in waves of endless pleasure She pretends you're touching her face with yours When he's turning in his sleep She makes-believe she can hear your voice Telling her you understand everything that she's feeling When he doesn't say a word She believes you understand her more than he ever will Even though you're barely friends Oh-oh-oh CHORUS No, she just can't get it right No matter how hard she try No matter what she do She still pretends it's you She was one of your disciples long before you drew her in Worshipped the safety of your embrace There are pagan gods and demagogues and ordinary men You sing to her, and Romance is your name, your name Never worries about, never harbours a doubt You're the fabric that she clings to Wrap her up in binding gravity Like an alienated lover who's been robbing herself blind Pretending she's a thief But the only thing she steals is time She's gonna take it in her hands (She pretends...) She's gonna spend it all on you (She pretends...) Until she's broke without a moment left to spare She's building up immunities Building up immunities And that's all she's ever done, ever done Oh-oh-oh CHORUS No, she just can't get it right No matter how hard she try No matter what she do She still pretends it's you No matter how hard she try No matter what she do No, she just can't get it right 'Cause she still pretends it's you CHORUS TAG: She Pretends... and Romance is your name She Pretends... and Romance is your name
