I wonder what it means When we say the things we say Is it truth or just a play Or somewhere in between? What am I to do? Please give me a tangible clue I can't pretend I need the real thing I can't pretend Life goes on and something has got to give I can't pretend I need to know the reason why I won't come very far In a passive state of mind Leaving others to define Who you really are With an open heart I'm trying to take it apart I can't pretend I need the real thing I can't pretend Life goes on and something's gotta give I can't pretend I need the real thing I can't pretend Can you hear me? I'm calling out your name
