[Verse 1]
I never thought it would come to this
Such trouble from just one kiss
We both belong to someone else
And somebody's bound to get hurt
But being without you is making me blue
But what can I do?
[Chorus]
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Oh, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
I, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
(We're more than friends) I pretend
[Verse 2]
I have a lady waiting at home
And tonite your man is all alone
We're breaking up two happy homes
But it's not enough to talk on the phone
And being without you is making me blue
But what can I do?
[Chorus]
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Darling, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Baby, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
(We're more than friends) I pretend
[Verse 3]
We can't go on meeting like this
I think it's time for us to admit
We bit off more than we could chew
There's more involved than just us two
I'm unhappy when I'm not with you
In a way that's being more untrue
Than staying with the one who can lay a claim
On the love, that's making me insane
[Chorus]
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Oh baby, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Darling, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
(That we're more than friends) I pretend
[Outro]
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Oh baby, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
(That we're more than friends) I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Oh baby, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
Darling, I pretend
(I just pretend, oh, I pretend)
(That we're more than friends)
