i can't pretend

i can't pretend

i'm sorry we're apart

i can't pretend

i just can't fool my heart

though i make mine

my friends all seem to realize

their smiles

that look in my eye

i can't pretend

i simply can't be gayer

for in the end

my tears give me away

without you dear

i live a lie

i can't defend

i love you

and i can't pretend
