How many times must we tell the tale?
How many times must we fall?
Living in lost memory you just recalled

Working on the sound of the band
Trying to get the music right
Two go out work
Three stay home at night

That's when she said she was pretending
Like she knew the plan
That's when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand

Pretending
Pretending
Pretending
Pretending

Satisfied, but lost in love
Situations change
You're never who you used to think you are
How strange

That's when she said she was pretending
Like she knew the plan
That's when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand

Pretending
Pretending
Pretending
Pretending (pretending, pretending)

I get lost in alibis
Sadness can't prevail
Everybody knows how love can't fail

Don't be pretending
'Bout how you feel
Don't be pretending
The love is real
Don't be pretending
'Bout how you feel
Don't be pretending
To love is real

Pretending
Pretending
Pretending
Pretending (pretending, pretending)
