Just Pretend

Humid night, I wake at 3, all wired

What's a girl to do if she's not tired?

Feeling ache, hunger low in my tummy

Mouth full of freckles, sure sounds 'yummy'

Getting hot and I'm feeling a little bit

What I would give for your salty inviting scent

I admit, I am scared to be on my own

Though parents bragged, I’m a kid who plays good alone

Crunch up my blankie, I put it between my knees

I curl my toes and I give it a good hard squeeze

I just pretend, just pretend, just pretend you’re there

I just pretend, just pretend, just pretend you care

Turn to my tummy, I’m movin’ my hips around

I wanna scream but seems silly don't make such sound

I just pretend, just pretend, I can taste your sweat

I just pretend, just pretend, you can hear my breath

Aha aha, hah aha ah, hah hah hah

Aha aha, hah aha ah, hah hah hah

Aha ah, aha ah ah, hah hah ah hah

Boy, you’re real sorry that you didn’t call or write

But baby boy, it’s a-a-a-alright

I miss kisses in the morning light

But havin' some fun learning to love myself tonight

Aha aha, hah aha ah, hah hah hah

Aha aha, hah aha ah, hah hah hah

Aha ah, aha ah ah, hah hah ah hah

I hope you don’t think it’s dirty

To be so selfishly flirty

My body and brain have been reelin'

From this unanswered sexual feelin'

You never thought this girl could make such noise

I never thought I’d have such fun, no help from boys

You got me pinned up against these mirrored walls

It’s in my head, I don’t worry ‘bout trips or falls

I just pretend, just pretend you can feel me shake

I just pretend, just pretend, but this next part’s not fake

Aha aha, hah aha ah, hah hah hah

Aha aha, hah aha ah, hah hah hah

Aha ah, aha ah ah, hah hah ah hah
