Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Something in your eyes
Makes me realize
Our romance is almost thru’
Love that I hold dear
I find insincere
Tho’ you make believe it’s true
Chorus
Pretending that you care
But someone else tonight will share
A kiss from lips divine
That you were pretending were mine
Pretending you’ll be true
I thought I could depend on you
Whatever might befall
But you were pretending that’s all
Tho’ your arms still hold me
As close as they did before
Tho’ you’ve never told me
I know what’s in store
For I know that you’re pretending love lives on
When in your heart the thrill is gone
O, why be so unfair
And keep on pretending you care?
- Tho’ you still pretend
This is not the end
I can recognize the signs
What’s to be will be
And when you’re with me
I can read between the lines
