Can you pretend to be the man
I should have been with
Can we fake the life you know
I should have had
Can we do a better
job of pretending
that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part
to someone else
You seem to have an
important part
The lead role of my heart
You played it well
along time ago
Until I started falling in love
And then you
changed your character
And avoided all of your lines
Now the man I love is gone now
Can you play his
part at this time
Can you pretend to be the man
I should have been with
Can we fake the life you know
I should have had
Can we do a better
job of pretending
that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part
to someone else
Love is like a see
saw it takes two in order
for it to work
I'm working hard
I'm playing my part
but the scene still won't work
And rehearsals are long
because your timing is all wrong
So I'll find someone
who loves me
And who can play your
part for life
I deserve a lot better than this
And I'm tired of acting like
it's okay
for me to give you my love
And receive nothing back
in return
Can you pretend to be the man
I should have been with
Can we fake the life you know
I should have had
Can we do a better
job of pretending
that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part
to someone else
Can you pretend to be the man
I should have been with
Can we fake the life you know
I should have had
Can we do a better
job of pretending
that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part
to someone else
