Billie Holiday feat. Oscar Peterson Quartet - Don't Explain

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 made mine
My friends all seem to realize
They smile, 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

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
