Pretender

Time goes by
It leaves you by yourself
Sometimes
Don't know why
But it's up to you to tell
No lies
Take a young man
Put him out on the street
He's got the whole world at his feet, but
He still can't seem to find his way home
Down the road
With ev'ry step you take
End ev'ry heart you break
You're closer to it all
Hey pretender
Dream your life away
Don't surrender
'Till you've had your day
'Cuz I know
Take a young man
Put him out on the street
Oh, he's got the whole world at his feet, but
I know I ain't never
Ever gonna find my way home
No
Hey pretender
Dream your life away
Don't surrender
Oh, I know you're gonna have your day
Hey pretender
Dream your life away
Don't surrender
'Till you've had your day
