Don't you pretend that you don't
Need a little more from me
You're actin' like it's nothin'
We both know it's somethin'
Even in the dark anyone can see

So don't you pretend that you're not
Wishin' I was next to you
Hot and cold as ever
Want me but you never
Let your guard down and I need some proof

You make me want you but you don't know where this ends
Baby, I wanna love you but I can't take the suspense

I said

Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend, oh yeah

Try to deny and be cool
As you walk away from me
Steady as you go
But tremblin' in your voice shows
There's a part of you slowly dyin'

I'm not gonna wait and just play
Victim to your vanities
I don't have the time babe
Tell me that you're mine babe
Why you keepin' your feelings from me?

You make me want you but you don't know where this ends
Baby, I wanna love you but I can't take the suspense

I said

Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend, oh yeah

Don't you run and hide
Let's find out tonight
I got a feelin' that you wanna fall
Tell me yes or no
I can't take no more
I want the real thing or nothin' at all

I just wanna see
Who you tryin' to be, yeah

I said

Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)

Oh, yeah no, no

Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend, oh
