What would you have me do

Just turn and walk out on you

And leave you standing there

Pretending I don't care

When you know as well as I

that would be nowhere

shouldn't I be with you


What would you have me say

After I walk away

would it be the end

or just a second wind

for the good old song that we use to call pretending

shouldn't I be with you


It's not the first time that you had me turn away

I don't know it won't be the last time

But you got to say you got to


Should we make a brand new start

or are you gonna break my heart

and leave me standing there

pretending I don't care

When you know as well as I

that would get us nowhere

will it be the end

or just a second wind

for the good old song that we use to call pretending

shouldn't I be with you

shouldn't I be with you
