She Pretends
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She pretends it's you
When she's giving him her mouth,
Her words, her tenderness
She pretends it's you
Who's holding her and showing her compassion
When he wants her nakedness
She Pretends...
You're sharing secrets with her
Never holding back the truth
She Pretends...
You're stealing moments together
Arm in arm with you when she's with him
She pretends you're laughing and crying together
Swimming in waves of endless pleasure
She pretends you're touching her face with yours
When he's turning in his sleep
She makes-believe she can hear your voice
Telling her you understand everything that she's feeling
When he doesn't say a word
She believes you understand her more than he ever will
Even though you're barely friends
Oh-oh-oh
CHORUS
No, she just can't get it right
No matter how hard she try
No matter what she do
She still pretends it's you
She was one of your disciples long before you drew her in
Worshipped the safety of your embrace
There are pagan gods and demagogues and ordinary men
You sing to her, and Romance is your name, your name
Never worries about, never harbours a doubt
You're the fabric that she clings to
Wrap her up in binding gravity
Like an alienated lover who's been robbing herself blind
Pretending she's a thief
But the only thing she steals is time
She's gonna take it in her hands (She pretends...)
She's gonna spend it all on you (She pretends...)
Until she's broke without a moment left to spare
She's building up immunities
Building up immunities
And that's all she's ever done, ever done
Oh-oh-oh
CHORUS
No, she just can't get it right
No matter how hard she try
No matter what she do
She still pretends it's you
No matter how hard she try
No matter what she do
No, she just can't get it right
'Cause she still pretends it's you
CHORUS TAG:
She Pretends... and
Romance is your name
She Pretends... and
Romance is your name
