Why Can't We Pretend
Oh, I get a cold reaction when we touch
No passion dancing in your eyes
And when there's no believing
That's when love stops breathing
And the fire dies
Oh, you keep holding back
Your love and affection
I feel like I wanna die
No, it's just not enough
To be alone in love
It would feel so good
If we could just keep trying
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
I've got the strangest feeling
When my heart started beating
Out of time with you
And baby, I'm still shaking off
The pain I've taken
I guess I always will
Oh, 'cause you keep coming on
With your false emotion
It's tearing me up inside
Ooh, your kiss is so cold
That I can't let go
It feels so good
That I just can't help myself
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
It's only love misunderstood
No, no, it can't be bad
If it feels this good
You stole my heart
Ain't that enough
But go ahead and ask me
Just to give it up, oh, no
Oh, you keep holding back
Your love and affection
I feel like I wanna die
No, it's just not enough
To be alone in love
It would feel so good
If we could just keep trying
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
I'm still shaking
From the pain I've taken
No passion, baby
No passion dancing in your eyes
And when there's no believing
That's when love stops breathing
And the fire dies
Oh, you keep holding back
Your love and affection
I feel like I wanna die
No, it's just not enough
To be alone in love
It would feel so good
If we could just keep trying
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
I've got the strangest feeling
When my heart started beating
Out of time with you
And baby, I'm still shaking off
The pain I've taken
I guess I always will
Oh, 'cause you keep coming on
With your false emotion
It's tearing me up inside
Ooh, your kiss is so cold
That I can't let go
It feels so good
That I just can't help myself
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
It's only love misunderstood
No, no, it can't be bad
If it feels this good
You stole my heart
Ain't that enough
But go ahead and ask me
Just to give it up, oh, no
Oh, you keep holding back
Your love and affection
I feel like I wanna die
No, it's just not enough
To be alone in love
It would feel so good
If we could just keep trying
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
Why can't we pretend
That we're still in love?
Oh, baby, why can't we pretend?
I'm still shaking
From the pain I've taken
No passion, baby
