He's a pretender, he knows just what to say   He's a pretender, yeah, you meet him every day   He's a pretender, that fish that got away   He's a pretender, why'd I fall in love?      It was so strange the way he held my hand   I wanted more than just a one night stand   He had a way of makin' me believe   That he was mine and that he'd never leave      I know that I should take my friend's advice   'Cause if it happened once, you know it happens twice   If there's a chance then I know I've got to try   I'll make him dance with me, I'll make him tell me why      He's a pretender   He's a pretender      I'm not afraid to fall a hundred times   And I'll believe in all your silly lies   I'd like to think that I could change your mind   Don't say that I am blind, I know all about your kind      He's a pretender, you meet him every day   He's a pretender, that fish that got away   He's a pretender, why'd I fall in love?      I like the way he moved across the floor   And when he danced with me I knew he wanted more   But in the dark things happened much too fast   I should've stopped him then I knew it wouldn't last      I know that I should take my friend's advice   'Cause if it happened once, you know it happens twice   If there's a chance then I know I've got to try   I'll make him dance with me, I'll make him tell me why      I'm not afraid to fall a hundred times   And I'll believe in all your silly lies   I'd like to think that I could change your mind   Don't say that I am blind      You lied you lied, you lied you lied   You lied you lied, you lied you lied   You lied you lied, you lied you lied   You lied you lied, I know all about your kind      He's a pretender   He's a pretender   He's a pretender, why'd I fall in love?      He's a pretender, yeah, he knows just what to say   He's a pretender, yeah, you meet him every day   He's a pretender, that fish that got away   He's a pretender, don't know how he got that way      He's a pretender   He's a pretender, he's a pretender   He's a pretender, that fish that got away   He's a pretender, why'd I fall in love?
