[Verse 1]

I don't care if you're hard to know

I don't mind if you come and go

You hang around and get your thrills

Taking all of your fancy pills

[Pre-Chorus]

You're the great pretender

A hero of your gender

[Verse 2]

Always something new to me

A changing personality

I like to watch your picture show

When you do your fake Monroe

[Pre-Chorus]

You're the great pretender

A hero of your gender

[Chorus]

Time after time

You pretend, but you don't listen

Time after time

You arrive another person

[Verse 3]

You look so chic in the clothes you wear

Always teasing your colored hair

I don't care if you're hard to know

You're starring in my video

[Pre-Chorus]

You're the great pretender

A hero of your gender

[Chorus]

Time after time

You pretend, but you don't listen

Time after time

You arrive another person

Time after time

You pretend, but you don't listen

Time after time

You arrive another person

[Pre-Chorus]

You're the great pretender

A hero of your gender

[Chorus]

Time after time

You pretend, but you don't listen

Time after time

You arrive another person

Time after time

You pretend, but you don't listen, no

Time after time

You arrive another person

Time after time

You pretend, but you don't listen

Time after time

You arrive another person

[Outro]

Time after time

Time after time

Time after time, after time

Time after time, after time

Time after time, after time, after time

Time after time, after time, after time
