(I got a Public Pretender, tryin' to make me a winner) (Nigga please don't surrender, they'll have you for dinner) Now that's how this shit go! And I know you don't like me spittin' in your motherfuckin' face But ain't a motherfuckin' thing, you can do,

I'm not like them But I can pretend The sun is gone But I have a light The day is done But I'm having fun I think I'm dumb Or maybe just happy Think I'm just happy

Forever we say goodnight and go home Shandi, tonight must last us forever But you know me very well, and I know you You can't tell me goodnight (say goodnight) I just can't pretend no more I keep runnin' out of lies Lovin' you is killin' me inside Every

Trust you to dig my grave And I trust you There ain't no worries You can't drink away I trust you You can lie awake at night Pretend not to see But you can't put that apple back up on its tree Woke up this morning

All I know is what I see, People think you're just so sweet, But they don't know you quite like I do. I guess they think that I'm a lucky guy, No matter how you cry, Do you think I'm crazy? And what can I do When you pretend that you're in love with me

You can pretend you don't miss me (me) Oh what a shame I'm not there You can pretend you don't care All you wanna do is kiss me (me) Somebody new All you wanna do is kiss me (me) What is it you want? You can lie but I know that you're not fine (oh yeah)

I still really really love you Love is stronger than pride I won't pretend that I intend to stop living I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving But I can't hate you Though I have tried Although I have tried Mm mm mm mm mm

I really wanna take you down Let me take you down Can I take you now, Quit playin' wit it (Doo doo doo) It ain't my first time but babygurl we can pretend (hey! ) Lets bump and grind Gurl, tonight will never end And show you what I'm about

And I wonder, can I give you what you need? Don't want to find I've lost it all Too scared to have no one to call I don't know if you mean everything to me So can we just pretend Ooh, I don't want this to break you Ooh, but I've got no one else to talk

I'm not like them But I can pretend The sun is gone But I have a light The day is done But I'm having fun I think I'm dumb Or maybe just happy Think I'm just happy
