Pretender
Lyrics
He's a pretender
He knows just what to say
He's a pretender
Yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender
Like the fish that got away
He's a pretender
Why'd I fall in love
It was so strange the way he held my hand
I wanted more than just a one night stand
He had a way of making me believe
That he was mine and that he'd never leave
I know that I should take my friend's advice
'Cause if it happened once you know it happens twice
If there's a chance then I know I've got to try
I'll make him dance with me
I'll make him tell me why
He's a pretender
He's a pretender
I'm not afraid to fall a hundred times
And I'll believe in all your silly lies
I'd like to think that I could change your mind
Don't say that I am blind
I know all about your kind
He's a pretender
You meet him every day
He's a pretender
Like the fish that got away
He's a pretender
Why'd I fall in love
I like the way he moved across the floor
And when he danced with me I know he wanted more
But in the dark things happen much too fast
I should've stopped him then I knew it wouldn't last
I know that I should take my friend's advice
'Cause if it happened once you know it happens twice
If there's a chance then I know I've got to try
I'll make him dance with me
I'll make him tell me why
I'm not afraid to fall a hundred times
And I'll believe in all your silly lies
I'd like to think that I could change your mind
Don't say that I am blind
You lied, you lied, you lied, you lied
You lied, you lied, you lied, you lied
You lied, you lied, you lied, you lied
You lied, you lied
I know all about your kind
He's a pretender
He's a pretender
He's a pretender
Why'd I fall in love
(He's a pretender)
Yeah he knows just what to say
(He's a pretender)
Yeah you meet him every day
(He's a pretender)
Like the fish that got away
(He's a pretender)
Don't know how he got that way
He's a pretender
He's a pretender
He's a pretender
Like the fish that got away
He's a pretender
Why'd I fall in love
