Lyrics:
Let me tell you ‘bout someone special
She’s kinda perfect and I wish she knew
Told me that she thinks she has to settle
But I know that ain’t true
She used to laugh at all the trouble we got in
Always finding ways to break the rules
Lately, I don’t see her smile as often
I think you know it’s you
Don’t take this the wrong way
I want you to be happy
But it’s hard to watch you fall again
Cause now I gotta play pretend
Spending all of my time
Dancing on this fine line
It’s hard to watch you fall again
Cause now I gotta play pretend
I know you like the back of my hand
I want you more every day and
It’s hard to watch you fall again
Cause now I gotta play pretend
We can talk until three in the morning
The sun will rise I never want it to
Feelings for you came without warning
Ever since we met it’s only you
Don’t take this the wrong way
I want you to be happy
But it’s hard to watch you fall again
Cause now I gotta play pretend
Spending all of my time
Dancing on this fine line
It’s hard to watch you fall again
Cause now I gotta play pretend
I know you like the back of my hand
I want you more every day and
It’s hard to watch you fall again
Cause now I gotta play pretend
All you gotta do is let me be your man
Got a hold on me like quicksand
It’s hard to watch you fall again
Cause now I gotta play pretend
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh (Woah)
Ohh
Don’t take this the wrong way
I want you to be happy
But it’s hard to watch you fall again
Cause now I gotta play pretend
