I'll Pretend - Dwight Yoakam

I’ll make believe

That the sight of her in my head’s seldom seen

And then insist

That I can’t still taste the inside of her kiss

With luck and time

I might even fool myself about those lies

'Till there’s no need

I’ll make believe

I’ll just pretend

That she really never left me in the end

And all night long

Swear right up and down 'round here there’s nothin' wrong

With work, my mind

Could cause the truth to get lost or hard to find

But until then

I’ll just pretend

Oh, how I wish you could have seen her

Come crawlin' back a beggin' me

'Cause if you had, I wouldn’t need her

Like I do so desperately

I’ll just pretend

That she really never left me in the end

And all night long, swear right up and down, 'round here, there’s nothin' wrong

With work my mind could cause the truth to get lost or hard to find

But until then

I’ll just pretend.
