Pretender

Pretender... causing panic in the streets, men are crawling at her feet
She makes it burn, burn, burn down
But I know just where from, yeah
I know she ain't worth nothing but I go wild, wild, wild... all night.

Sweet pretender, you make me lose my concentration
And I can't stop it no more, I can't fall
Money can't buy your happiness
It just picks you up to shoot you down
You go down, down, down, down.

And I been searching, and I been learning to
The love you pretend to have, it just can be so cruel.

I'm going crazy
But I'm a crazy
But I'm too lazy to help myself from you.

The doctor couldn't help me with his pills
Said no way I could cure your ill
Get rid of the chick... and be aware
She lies about... how much she cares.

Well Mommy and Daddy think I am a fool
'Cause I told 'em that I leave for good
Don't care about no pretenders... anymore, anymore
There'll be rocking teenage party on Saturday night
I'll find a new chick and I'll pull her right
Well I don't care what the people might say as long as I go wild.

Oh pretender, such a sweet pretender
The dirty things... that we do
Just you and me
You make me lose my mind
Pretender
Pretender, pretender.
