Fret through the snow I wanna know how to beat this And you're the only one I know Who can let me in on the secret Under pretense that I can't afford to see you, only weekends? When we both see the bend But we can play pretend, pretend, pretend ♪ And I was right up front I watched it all go down Those invisible things You were figuring out And you put on a front Just laughing on about Some classic joke I told About your favorite noun ♪ You said I'm always looking for disaster But I know just where to look And I'm shook, I'm shook, I'm shook ♪ 'Cause you were the one I was waiting for You were the one I was longing for (You were the one) (You were the one) (You were the one) (You were the one) (You were the one) (You were the one) ♪ And I was right up front I watched it all go down Those invisible things You were figuring out And you put on a front Just laughing on about That classic joke I told About your favorite noun And I will die alone And that'll be just fine But every time we make love She turns off the lights Thought I had discovered Something to curb the pain But every time I detour It all ends the same
