How many times must we tell the tale?   How many times must we fall?   Living in lost memory   You just recalled      Working on the sound of the band   Trying to get the music right   Two go out working   Three stay home at night      That's when she said she was pretending   Like she knew the plan   That's when I knew she was pretending   Pretending to understand      Pretending, pretending   Pretending, pretending      Satisfied but lost in love   Situations change   You're never who you used to think you are   How strange      Chorus      I get lost in alibis   Sadness can't prevail   Everybody knows strong love   Can't fail      Don't be pretending about how you feel   Don't be pretending that your love is real   Don't be pretending about how you feel   Don't be pretending that your love is real      Pretending, pretending   Pretending, pretending
