I'm a pretender at the game of love
Need somebody help me shatter my heart
I'm a pretender at the game of love
Need somebody help me shatter my foolish heart
21 and it ain't no fun
My life's going by but it's just begun
I'm searchin' and searchin' and I'm lookin' around
Ain't gonna cry 'cause there's no one to be found
I'm a pretender at the game of love
Need somebody help me shatter my heart
I'm a pretender at the game of love
Need somebody help me shatter my foolish heart
Took ya down to the avenue
Weather was cool, so I bought you some food
But I got so nervous when you asked me to come home
Went in my house and spent the night all alone
I'm a pretender at the game of love
Need somebody help me shatter my heart
I'm a pretender at the game of love
Need somebody help me shatter my foolish heart
I know, when you're a pretender
Your mind's wild from the start
Just gimme one chance baby
Help me shadow my heart
Gimme one chance baby
Help me shatter my heart
Just won't cry 'cause my life's goin' by
I'll find someone before the day I die
Gimme a chance and show me what to do
Couple minutes I'll be doin' it with you
I'm a pretender at the game of love
Need somebody help me shatter my heart
I'm a pretender at the game of love
Need somebody help me shatter my foolish heart
I'm a pretender
I'm a pretender
I'm a pretender
I'm a pretender
I'm a pretender
I'm a pretender
Stand up pretender
I'm a pretender at the game of love
I'm a pretender at the game of love
I'm a pretender at the game of love
I'm a pretender
