Sweet Pretender Lyrics by Phil Everly

Phil Everly

0

I smiled at you
You smiled at me too
And I thought your eyes were telling me
What you wanted me to do

So I said “Hello”
I let my feelings show
But you only laughed
And now I just don’t know

Woh-oh sweet pretender
Will you surrender
Are you teasin’ me
Will our love ever be

Sweet pretender
Did I see a sign
That you might be mine
That our romance might have a chance
If we only had some time

I want you to stay
Please don’t walk away
Smile again
And let love find a way

Woh-oh sweet pretender
Will you surrender
If it’s just a game
I’ll never be the same

Sweet pretender
Sweet pretender
Will you surrender
Are you teasin’ me
Will our love ever be

Sweet pretender
Sweet pretender
Sweet pretender
Sweet pretender
