I Pretend - Kim Carnes

Time hasn’t healed the wound

I wish I was in her shoes

She’s got the man I could never have

My kisses were never missed

How it hurts to be second best

Oh let me tell you what I have to do

To get through the night

I pretend that you’re loving me after dark

Pretend that you’re holding me next to your heart

Pretend that you wanted me right from the start

Oh I’m lost in my fantasy

I pretend that your valentine is for me

Pretend that I’m the only one that you need

Pretend that we’re making love in our dreams

Oh I’m lost in my fantasy

Memories that should have died

Come alive when you walk on by

I wish my eyes could turn away

For this heart there is no escape

When the truth is too hard to take

Oh let me tell you what I have to do

To get through the night

I pretend that you’re loving me after dark

Pretend that you’re holding me next to your heart

Pretend that you wanted me right from the start

Oh I’m lost in my fantasy

I pretend that your valentine is for me

Pretend that I’m the only one that you need

Pretend that we’re making love in our dreams

Oh I’m lost in my fantasy

I pretend that you’re loving me after dark

Pretend that you’re holding me next to your heart

Pretend that you wanted me right from the start

Oh I’m lost in my fantasy

I pretend that your valentine is for me

Pretend that I’m the only one that you need

Pretend that we’re making love in our dreams

Oh I’m lost in my fantasy
