(La)
(Don't pretend and don't you hide from me)
You, object of my desire, you got that something, I,
Seem to pray for.
Soon, I don't mean to be sly, but could I get inside,
And feel a little closer.
I know your holding back because your eyes never lie.
(No they don't no, these emotions that ur tryin t fight)
But if you just give in girl, I'll make you smile, (you know
I will), the confusion ur feeling will...
Why should you pretend, I know you feel something, I don't
Know why ur holding all ur urges inside.
Thers no need to pretend, lets get this happenin, just
Let down all ur barriers ur hiding behind, girl don't
Deny me.
(La)
(Why are you pretendin, I don't know)
Truth, be told I like that you, don't feel like dancin to,
So we can take a seat and talk, a little conversate
Speak on a future date, girl I think that you should give
Me a go.
I know ur holding back, coz ur eyes never lie, these
Emotions tht ur tryin t fight, (why you wanna fight)
Why don't you just admit that I make you smile, (you know I
Do) how did it take you so long just to...
Y do you pretend, I know you feel something, I don't know y
Ur holding all ur urges inside
Thers no need to pretend, lets get this happenin, just
Let down all ur barriers ur hiding behind, girl don't
Deny me,
Got my eyes on you
(Why wud you hide)
An I think ur feelin me too
(Why do you feel...)
Y do you pretend, I kno you feel somethin, I don't kno y ur
Holding all ur urges inside,
Thers no need to pretend, lets get this happenin, just
Let down all ur barriers ur hidin behind. Girl don't
Deny
Y do you pretend, I kno you feel somethin, I don't kno y ur
Holdin all ur urges inside,
Thers no need to pretend, lets get this happenin, just
Let down all ur barriers ur hiding behind. Girl don't
Deny me
