Lyrics
Here you are again but nothing will come to be
About this love story of you and me
She's always on your mind, I'm the one that's left behind
But you're too blind to see
Let's play pretend, Let's play pretend,
Let's make this story never come to an end
Let's play pretend, Let's play pretend,
I want to be your lover not just a friend
We know when the sun comes up it's the beginning of a brand new day
We see the passion rise as we look into our eyes
And it's her on your mind, but I'm gonna make you mine for one more day
She's not gonna take you away
Let's play pretend, Let's play pretend,
Let's make this story never come to an end
Let's play pretend, Let's play pretend,
I want to be your lover not just a friend
Let's spend the night together
Let's play pretend forever
I'll stand by you, and you stand by her
And once again, her love, will end you in disaster but I'll make you mine
You will me mine
Let's play pretend, Let's play pretend,
Let's make this story never come to an end
Let's play pretend, Let's play pretend,
I want to be your lover not just a friend
She'll keep running around on you
You'll keep running back to me - and I'll make you
Let's play pretend, let's play pretend
