Pretender

She puts the bottle on the table
Some kind of wine I can't pronounce
She tells me her besties are coming
I don't want to let her down
They're taking picture at the front door
They give two kisses on her cheeks
And now they talk about travel to countries
That I've never heard or seen
Somebody save me
'Cause I don't want to end up like these actors
It's beginning to change me
And you're completely different when it's just us
She tell me she love me, she love me
But I'm nothing like her friends
I don't fit in at the party
Somebody save me
'Cause I don't want to end up like these actors
My momma never raised a pretender
My momma never raised a pretender
She spent an hour on her make up
I didn't think she was the type
Now she's laughing at all of their jokes
About people that they don't like
I guess I must have had to be there
But I don't want to play along
I feel like locking myself in the bathroom
'Cause I'd rather be alone
Somebody save me
'Cause I don't want to end up like these actors
It's beginning to change me
And you're completely different when it's just us
She tell me she love me, she love me
But I'm nothing like her friends
I don't fit in at the party
Somebody save me
'Cause I don't want to end up like these actors
My momma never raised a pretender
My momma never raised a pretender
And all of a sudden
You don't seem the person that I thought you were
And all of a sudden, I'm screaming out
Somebody save me
'Cause I don't want to end up like these actors
It's beginning to change me
And you're completely different when it's just us
She tell me she love me, she love me
But I'm nothing like her friends
I don't fit in at the party
Somebody save me
'Cause I don't want to end up like these actors
My momma never raised a pretender
My momma never raised a pretender
