In the stillness of the night My eyes are closed My mouth is wide I could see her face Her beautiful hair I could recognize She looks at me cold She probably don't know how I am Mommy it's me It's Keith You had me back when But sometimes I like to pretend That she knows me That she holds me But sometimes I like to pretend That she knows me That she holds me I guess I can't Because she doesn't know who I am My mind it's dreaming God it's so misleading Do you think it's 'cause I've grown old Is it true that what I was told You cried to leave me You know I know it's not your fault You had a husband who was selfish and cold Believe me I know Now I hear you used to treat me cold You disappeared and left me all alone I'm sure you didn't know right from wrong 'Cause both of you were always getting stoned But sometimes I like to pretend (repeat) That she knows me Sometimes I like to pretend That she holds me Sometimes I like to pretend That she knows me Sometimes I like to pretend That she holds me I guess I can't Because she doesn't know who I am
