HE'S A PRETENDER
(Gary Goetzman, Mike Piccirillo)
He appears to be straight from heaven
But everybody says there's a devil in those angel eyes
Then try me on for size
He opens his mouth and there's magic
A beautiful smile and looks that go on for days
But everybody says
They say:
He's a pretender
Doesn't mean a word of it
Out to take a heart tonight
He's a pretender
Doesn't mean a word of it
Out to take a heart tonight
It might as well be mine
Pretender take mine
Now I might be crazy
But out on the floor
This guy's movin' like he wants to do more than dance
I think I'll take a chance
He moves in close for a slow one
And I can't believe what he's whisperin' in my ear
His words are so sincere
How can they say:
He's a pretender
Doesn't mean a word of it
Out to take a heart tonight
He's a pretender
Doesn't mean a word of it
Out to take a heart tonight
It might as well be mine
Pretender take mine
My heart was made for the lovin' boy not for breakin'
So if you think you're gonna hurt me boy
You're mistaken
But I turned around and my angel was gone
I couldn't believe that he'd leave my love high and dry
Tell me the reason why
