Pretend Lyrics by Monika

Avatar

0

Once again the silly common talk
Will you look at me for once like you're not bored?
At the end of this unlikely pretty night
I'll be singing in my car and you'll be tired
Come again without your guilty thoughts
You could have it all by making just a phone call
At the latest gig that maybe you come too
I will pray to God to make me look more cool

Downtown, cool downtown…

Well, don't let these people turn you down
Don't let these people ask
"what do you like?" or "who do you prefer?"
About the things that make you scream your loudest wow
Do not stand against the wall, do not give me any
Da-da-darling, I want you so much
More than I pretend, more than I pretend

Look at me or listen to my songs
You could have it all by knocking on my door
But you've never found the right way to my place
So my little baby I won't miss your taste
If you cry aloud the things you've said
If you cry aloud the music you have hated
And probably can see the reason why
I am dancing like fool and you are drunk

Downtown, drunk downtown…

Well, don't let these people turn you down
Don't let these people ask
"what do you like?" or "who do you prefer?"
About the things that make you scream your loudest wow
Do not stand against the wall, do not give me any
Da-da-darling, I want you so much
More than I pretend, more than I pretend
