Can't Pretend

It's the same old story, ain't that how it goes
A boy loves a girl and she'll never know
That's exactly where I find myself tonight
Gotta bottle it up and seal it tight

Because I don't know how much more that I can take
I gotta feeling that this levee's gonna break

It's just something that I can't pretend
I want you girl I don't need another friend
I got plenty of them

I swear if you smile at me one more time
I might lose my mind
Now this drink's in my hand and my vision's getting blurred
And I'm feeling pretty brave, but my speech is getting slurred

I don't know how much more that I can take
So I'll have another sip and watch the levee break

It's just something that I can't pretend
I want you girl I don't need another friend
Oh, I was hoping that you'd read my mind
The clock's still running but we're almost out of time

Can you just give me a simple loving chance
A shred of hope found in a passing glance
Just something for me to go off of
A little fuel to the fire of this burning love

It's just something that I can't pretend
I want you girl I don't need another friend
I got plenty of them
