Pretend Lyrics by Mark Erelli

Hillbilly Pilgrim

0

(Mark Erelli)

If my smile
Ever fails to make you swoon
If my kiss
Doesn't send you to the moon
If my arms
Hold no charms
There's no need for alarm
Don't reveal how you feel
Just pretend

If your heart
Starts to long for other men
If your eye
Tends to wander now and then
I know it seems
The grass is green
But that's just the stuff of dreams
Don't be fooled, don't be cruel
Just pretend

Just pretend
I'm still the one you need, dear
I won't care if it's only make believe, dear
Don't discard me like I'm the latest trend
Go through the motions of devotion
And pretend

Oh love
Is often tedious and hard, dear
It can't always be
A Hallmark card, dear
Try to find the spark within your heart again
Go through the motions of devotion
And pretend

I'd rather that you fake it
If you left I couldn't take it
You got my heart so don't you break it
