Playing Pretend Lyrics by Maya Manuela

somewhere in the multiverse

2023

[Verse 1]
Sitting with your hand on my thigh
You got that look in your eye
Like you don't wanna be friends
You never heard what I said
I feel the rush setting in
You think I'm so innocent
I'm in distress, you're the prince

[Pre-Chorus]
I grew up playing pretend

[Chorus]
You can own me for a night or two
But I don't belong to you baby
You think all your dreams are coming true, do you?
But I don't belong to you babe

[Verse 2]
Laying with your hands 'round my neck
You're getting way too attached
You paint my face on your wall
I leave my coat in the hall
You clear a drawer for my things
I look up flights overseas
You brag to all of your friends

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm good at playing pretend

[Chorus]
You can own me for a month or two
But I don't belong to you baby
You think all your dreams are coming true, do you?
But I don't belong to you

I don't belong to you
