Lyrics
NOT PRETENDING
VERSE 1:
I?m looking at them
And they are looking at him
Ready to put up a fight
Like he?s the last guy alive, yeah yeah
VERSE 2:
Didn?t want it to end
Just one conversation with him
Every piece that makes up me
Is just what I want him to see, want him to see
BRIDGE:
The girls pretend to be anything, everything
I?m not even gonna try
CHORUS:
I?m not pretending
To impress him
I?m not trying to act like somebody else
I?m not gonna give in
To competition
Going on, going on
He could pick out anyone, anyone, anyone
TAG 1:
So why?s he glancing back at me
VERSE 3:
I?m looking at him
And he is staring at me
The girls in disbelief
I?ve got that something they can?t see, apparently
BRIDGE:
The girls pretend to be anything, everything
I?m not even gonna try
CHORUS
MIDDLE 8:
So why?s he smiling back at me
So many things he could not see
Maybe he likes me for me
CHORUS
TAG 2:
So why?s he walking up to me
