Lyrics
0:15Can you pretend to be the man
0:18I should have been with
0:21Can we fake the life you know
0:24I should have had
0:29Can we do a better job of pretending
0:32That you really care
0:37Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
0:43You seem to have an important part
0:47The lead role of my heart
0:51You played it well along time ago
0:54Until I started falling in love
0:58And then you changed your character
1:01And avoided all of your lines
1:06Now the man I love is gone now
1:10Can you play his part at this time
1:13Can you pretend to be the man
1:17I should have been with
1:20Can we fake the life you know
1:23I should have had
1:27Can we do a better job of pretending
1:31That you really care
1:35Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
1:42Love is like a see saw it takes two
1:47In order for it to work
1:51I'm working hard I'm playing my part
1:54But the scene still won't work
1:57Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with
2:05Can we make the life you know I should have had
2:12Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
2:20Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
2:27And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong
2:34So I'll find someone who loves me
2:38And who can play your part for life
2:43I deserve a lot better than this
2:46And I'm tired of acting like
2:50It's okay for me to give you my love
2:53And receive nothing back in return
2:57Can you pretend to be the man
3:01I should have been with
3:03Can we fake the life you know
3:07I should have had
3:11Can we do a better job of pretending
3:15That you really care
3:19Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
3:26Can you pretend to be the man
3:30I should have been with
3:33Can we fake the life you know
3:36I should have had
3:40Can we do a better job of pretending
3:44That you really care
3:48Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with Can we fake 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 lead role of my heart You played it well along 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 at this time Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with Can we fake 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'm working hard I'm playing my part But the scene still won't work 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 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 And receive nothing back in return Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with Can we fake 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 fake 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
