[Verse 1]

I believe, I believe there's a reason

There's a breach in the hull

Started going under, loot and plunder

Honeybee, honeybee, don't you sting me

Don't you sting me no more

With a heart like yours, search and destroy, yeah

You take whatever you're owed

I can't let you, I can't let you go

[Chorus]

We pretend in the darkness

We pretend the night won't steal our youth

Singing me the sweet songs of seduction

Let me be the fool, fool, fool

Who will live and die for you

We pretend in the darkness

We pretend the night won't steal our youth

Singing me the sweet songs of seduction

Let me be the fool, fool, fool

Who will live and die for you

[Verse 2]

Seventeen wasn't all the easy

It was all that she wrote

Only nickel plated, edge serrated, oh

Cut 'em down, cut 'em down at the knees, yeah

Cut 'em down to the bone

Just a lesser evil, born unequal

You show them where they belong

Tear right through them

Tear right through them all

[Chorus]

We pretend in the darkness

We pretend the night won't steal our youth

Singing me the sweet songs of seduction

Let me be the fool, fool, fool

Who will live and die for you

We pretend in the darkness

We pretend the night won't steal our youth

Singing me the sweet songs of seduction

Let me be the fool, fool, fool

Who will live and die for you

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

We pretend in the darkness

We pretend the night won't steal our youth

Singing me the sweet songs of seduction

Let me be the fool, fool, fool

Who will live and die for you

We pretend in the darkness

We pretend the night won't steal our youth

Singing me the sweet songs of seduction

Let me be the fool, fool, fool

Who will live and die for you
