He's a pretender, doesn't mean a word of it Out to take her heart tonight He's a pretender, doesn't mean a word of it Out to take her heart tonight

Now I might be crazy, but out on the floor This guy's movin' like he wants to do more than dance I think I'll take a chance He moves in close for a slow one And I can't believe what he's whisperin' in my ear His words are so sincere, ooh, how can they say

He's just a pretender He's just a pretender He's just a pretender
My heart was made for the lovin, boy Not for breakin' So if you think you're gonna hurt me, boy You're mistaken

He's a pretender, doesn't mean a word of it Out to take her heart tonight (He's just a pretender) He's a pretender, doesn't mean a word of it Out to take her heart tonight
He's a pretender, doesn't mean a word of it Out to take her heart tonight (He's just a pretender) He's a pretender, doesn't mean a word of it
