Pretenders

My world has turned upside down
You almost invade my heart
I'm jealous of your talent, glamour, and so on
Unclear sky spread above us
Then there's not a ray of hope
I've gone astray somewhere
While my sight's been shut out
And if I never met you
I don't have to face to myself
I'd never supposed to feel like this, ooh oh
Is that a yearning or fear
Don't force your excessive thoughts on me
Don't pretend as love
Turn back the
Time cannot delete our crimes
Crime will take somebody's smiles
We only wanna be safe and sound
Lots of plastic plans go round and round
Now's the time to act, what are you waiting for
Now we've had enough, won't contend no more
I don't wanna think at all
So don't let me avenge back again
My world has turned upside down
Since I had worked with your heart
Whole things that are pleasing you hurt you on and on
Foul mire spread below us
Thrills my body just like dope
I've straightened across the border
Someone's warned me, yet
And if I never met you
I don't have to face to myself
I'd never supposed to feel like this, ooh oh
Is that a yearning or fear
Don't force your excessive thoughts on me
Don't pretend as love
Turn back the
Time cannot delete our crimes
Crime will take somebody's smiles
We only wanna be safe and sound
Lots of plastic plans go round and round
Now's the time to act, what are you waiting for？
Now we've had enough, won't contend no more
I don't wanna think at all
So don't let me avenge back again
Ti-time, time won't rewind back
C-crime, crime, can't get rid of
Li-live, still we gotta be alive
Ooh ooh oh oh
Ti-time, time won't rewind back
C-crime, crime, can't get rid of
Li-live, still we gotta be alive
Ooh ooh oh oh
Turn back the
Time cannot delete our crimes
Crime will take somebody's smiles
We only wanna be safe and sound
Lots of plastic plans go round and round
Now's the time to act, what are you waiting for?
Now we've had enough, won't contend no more
I don't wanna think at all
So don't let me avenge back again
Ti-time, time won't rewind back
C-crime, crime, can't get rid of
Li-live, still we gotta be alive
Ooh ooh oh oh
Ti-time, time won't rewind back
C-crime, crime, can't get rid of
Li-live, still we gotta be alive
Ooh ooh oh oh
