[Verse 1]
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 working, three stay home at night
[Chorus]
That's when she said she was pretending
Just like she knew the plan
That's when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand
Pretending
Pretending
Pretending
Pretending
[Verse 2]
Satisfied but lost in love
Situations change
You're never who you used to think you are, how strange
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 3]
I get lost in alibis
Sadness can't prevail
Everybody knows strong love can't fail
[Bridge]
Don't be pretending
About how you feel
Don't be pretending
Your love is real
Don't be pretending
About how you feel
A-don't be pretending
That your love is real
[Outro]
Pretending
Pretending
Pretending
Pretending (Pretending, pretending)
