Oh, everyone knows   You're all alone   So why pretend?      And everyone knows   You're on your own   Why not let it end?      Your baby's gone   And you're all alone   So why pretend?      Every time   You're not at home   You say that she's with you      Isn't it time   You made it known   That she isn't with you?      She's far away   And there she will stay   Oh, why pretend?      You didn't want her   When her heart grew fonder   Oh, of you by her side      You didn't love her   So she found another   Oh, why pretend?   It's got to end      'Cos everyone knows   You're all alone   So why pretend?   Why pretend? Hit it      You didn't want her   When her heart grew fonder   Oh, you by her side   No, you didn't      You didn't love her   So she found another   Oh, why pretend?   It's got to end      'Cos everyone knows   You're all alone   So why pretend?      And everyone knows   That you're on your own   Why not let it end?   Do it      Your baby's gone   And you're all alone   Your baby's gone   And you're on your own      Your baby's gone   You're all alone   So why pretend?   Why pretend, baby?
