Don't be fooled by my words 

Don't be fooled by my song 

If you choose to belive them 

You'll plainly be wrong


I have love for my family

I have love for my friends

That's as far as it goes,

And I must let you know

My love for you was pretend.


Pretend love, pretend love,

Don't be mistaken, I've only been fakin'

Pretend love


Don't you know I've a gift

And I've wraped it in truth

Your birthday's tomorrow, 

But the gift is not for you,


But if I came with a present

I would bring you a clue

Hopes you'd finally see

That your feelings for me

Will never be returned


Pretend love, pretend love

Don't be mistaken, I've only been fakin'

Pretend love


Pretend love, pretend love

Don't be mistaken, I've only been faking

Pretend love
