[Chorus]

I'm a pretender at the game of love

Need somebody to help me shatter my heart

I'm a pretender at the game of love

Need somebody to help me shatter my foolish heart

[Verse 1]

21 and it ain't no fun

My life's going by but it's just begun

I'm searchin' and searchin' and I'm lookin' around

Ain't gonna cry cause there's no one to be found

[Chorus]

I'm a pretender at the game of love

Need somebody to help me shatter my heart

I'm a pretender at the game of love

Need somebody to help me shatter my foolish heart

[Verse 2]

Took you down to the avenue

Weather was cool, so I bought you some food

But I got so nervous when you asked me to come home

Went in my house and spent the night all alone

[Chorus]

I'm a pretender at the game of love

Need somebody to help me shatter my heart

I'm a pretender at the game of love

Need somebody to help me shatter my foolish heart

[Bridge]

I know, when you're a pretender

Your mind's wild from the start

Just gimme one chance baby

Help me shatter my heart

Gimme one chance baby

Help me shatter my heart

[Verse 3]

I just wanna cry cause my life's goin' by

I'll find someone before the day I die

Gimme a chance and show me what to do

Couple-a minutes I'll be doin' it with you

[Chorus]

I'm a pretender at the game of love

Need somebody to help me shatter my heart

I'm a pretender at the game of love

Need somebody to help me shatter my foolish heart

[Outro]

I'm a pretender (I'm a pretender)

I'm a pretender (I'm a pretender)

I'm a pretender (I'm a pretender, baby)

I'm a pretender (so long, pretender)

I'm a pretender at the game of love (I'm a pretender)

I'm a pretender at the game of love (I'm a pretender)

I'm a pretender at the game of love (I'm a pretender, baby)

I'm a pretender
