Ooo, ooo, oh yeah Oh yeah Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with? Can we make the life you know I should have had? Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care Or I'll have to give the part to someone else You seem to have an important part, the leading role of my heart You played it well, a long time ago, until I started falling in love And then you changed your character and avoided all of your lines Now the man I love is gone, now, can you play his part of this jive? Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with? Can we make the life you know I should have had? Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care Or I'll have to give the part to someone else Love is like a see-saw, it takes two in order for it to work I working hard, I'm playing my part, but the scene still won't work And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong So I'll find someone who loves me and who can play your part for life I deserve a lot better than this And I'm tired of acting like It's okay for me to give you my love Recieve nothing back in return Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with? Can we make the life you know I should have had? Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care Or I'll have to give the part to someone else Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with? Can we make the life you know I should have had? Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care Or I'll have to give the part to someone else Else
