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'll 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 quick sand

It's hard to watch you fall again

Cause now I gotta play pretend

Ohh

Ohh

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
