Pretender... causing panic in the streets, men are crawling at her feet She makes it burn, burn, burn down But I know just where from, yeah I know she ain't worth nothing but I go wild, wild, wild... all night
Sweet pretender, you make me lose my concentration And I can't stop it no more, I can't fall Money can't buy your happiness It just picks you up to shoot you down You go down, down, down, down
And I been searching, and I been learning to The love you pretend to have, it just can be so cruel
I'm going crazy But I'm a crazy But I'm too lazy to help myself from you
The doctor couldn't help me with his pills Said no way I could cure your ill Get rid of the chick... and be aware She lies about... how much she cares
Well Mommy and Daddy think I am a fool 'Cause I told 'em that I leave for good Don't care about no pretenders... anymore, anymore There'll be rocking teenage party on Saturday night I'll find a new chick and I'll pull her right Well I don't care what the people might say as long as I go wild
Oh pretender, such a sweet pretender The dirty things... that we do Just you and me You make me lose my mind Pretender Pretender, pretender
