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 findin' 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 is hard to watch you fall again
'Cause now I gotta play pretend
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
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
