Pretend

Oh, oh, oh, ooh

Yeah, ayy, ayy

It gets so hard to tell

Who's really here for me

Who's really down for me

Or who just down for the ride

So many issues of switchin' sides

I just cannot identify

My, heart has a funny way of lettin' people in

I swear it's never my intentions

Always missin' all the signs that God be givin'

Never find out the truth until the endin'

That they pretend (oh), that they pretend (oh, oh)

Please don't pretend with me, yeah (yeah, yeah)

Just keep it real with me, just keep it real (oh, ooh-ooh)

Don't play pretend (ooh, ooh, ooh, oh)

Don't play pretend

Please don't pretend with me, yeah (oh, oh, oh)

Just keep it real, just keep it real (oh, oh)

They say that I'm weak, they say that I'm too naive

Always tryna see, see the good in everybody (see the good in everybody)

You would probably think disappointments would've stopped me

Love just keep on bleedin', I know that God still got me

The reality hits and I'm not to expect people to give what I give

Or think how I think, all I know my love it could be too much for some of you

To love the way I do

Don't play pretend (no, no)

Please don't pretend (no, no, oh)

Please don't pretend with me, yeah

Just keep it real with me, just keep it real (just keep it real with me, yeah)

Don't play pretend (don't, no)

Don't play pretend (don't, no)

Please don't pretend with me, yeah

Just keep it real, just keep it real

I can't help it that my heart's so big

Constantly let people in

I love without a motive (love without a motive)

I just givin' and I give (oh, ooh woah, oh, oh)

But I need somethin' tangible

Somethin' I can hold onto

A relationship I can feel

Somethin' real (yeah, yeah), somethin' real (yeah), somethin' real

Don't play pretend

Don't play pretend (no, no)

Please don't pretend (no, no, oh)

Please don't pretend with me, yeah

Just keep it real with me, just keep it real

Don't play pretend (don't)

Please don't pretend (don't play)

Please don't pretend with me, yeah (please don't pretend)

Just keep it real, just keep it real (woo, ooh, don't play pretend, yeah)

Don't play pretend (no, no)

Please don't pretend (no, no, oh)

Please don't pretend with me, yeah

Just keep it real with me, just keep it real
