Oh, I get a cold reaction when we touch No passion dancing in your eyes And when there's no believing That's when love stops breathing And the fire dies Oh, you keep holding back Your love and affection I feel like I wanna die No, it's just not enough To be alone in love It would feel so good If we could just keep trying Why can't we pretend That we're still in love? Oh, baby, why can't we pretend? Why can't we pretend That we're still in love? Oh, baby, why can't we pretend? I've got the strangest feeling When my heart started beating Out of time with you And baby, I'm still shaking off The pain I've taken I guess I always will Oh, 'cause you keep coming on With your false emotion It's tearing me up inside Ooh, your kiss is so cold That I can't let go It feels so good That I just can't help myself Why can't we pretend That we're still in love? Oh, baby, why can't we pretend? Why can't we pretend That we're still in love? Oh, baby, why can't we pretend? It's only love misunderstood No, no, it can't be bad If it feels this good You stole my heart Ain't that enough But go ahead and ask me Just to give it up, oh, no Oh, you keep holding back Your love and affection I feel like I wanna die No, it's just not enough To be alone in love It would feel so good If we could just keep trying Why can't we pretend That we're still in love? Oh, baby, why can't we pretend? Why can't we pretend That we're still in love? Oh, baby, why can't we pretend? I'm still shaking From the pain I've taken No passion, baby
