Sweet Pretender

I smiled at you
You smiled at me too
And I thought your eyes were telling me
What you wanted me to do
So I said “Hello”
I let my feelings show
But you only laughed
And now I just don’t know
Woh-oh sweet pretender
Will you surrender
Are you teasin’ me
Will our love ever be
Sweet pretender
Did I see a sign
That you might be mine
That our romance might have a chance
If we only had some time
I want you to stay
Please don’t walk away
Smile again
And let love find a way
Woh-oh sweet pretender
Will you surrender
If it’s just a game
I’ll never be the same
Sweet pretender
Sweet pretender
Will you surrender
Are you teasin’ me
Will our love ever be
Sweet pretender
Sweet pretender
Sweet pretender
Sweet pretender
