Pretend Lyrics - Mark Erelli

(Mark Erelli) 

If my smile 

Ever fails to make you swoon 

If my kiss 

Doesn't send you to the moon 

If my arms 

Hold no charms 

There's no need for alarm 

Don't reveal how you feel 

Just pretend 

If your heart 

Starts to long for other men 

If your eye 

Tends to wander now and then 

I know it seems 

The grass is green 

But that's just the stuff of dreams 

Don't be fooled, don't be cruel 

Just pretend 

Just pretend 

I'm still the one you need, dear 

I won't care if it's only make believe, dear 

Don't discard me like I'm the latest trend 

Go through the motions of devotion 

And pretend 

Oh love 

Is often tedious and hard, dear 

It can't always be 

A Hallmark card, dear 

Try to find the spark within your heart again 

Go through the motions of devotion 

And pretend 

I'd rather that you fake it 

If you left I couldn't take it 

You got my heart so don't you break it
