She pretends it's you

When she's giving him her mouth,

Her words, her tenderness



She pretends it's you

Who's holding her and showing her compassion

When he wants her nakedness



She Pretends...

You're sharing secrets with her

Never holding back the truth



She Pretends...

You're stealing moments together

Arm in arm with you when she's with him



She pretends you're laughing and crying together

Swimming in waves of endless pleasure

She pretends you're touching her face with yours

When he's turning in his sleep



She makes-believe she can hear your voice

Telling her you understand everything that she's feeling

When he doesn't say a word

She believes you understand her more than he ever will

Even though you're barely friends

Oh-oh-oh



CHORUS

No, she just can't get it right

No matter how hard she try

No matter what she do

She still pretends it's you



She was one of your disciples long before you drew her in

Worshipped the safety of your embrace

There are pagan gods and demagogues and ordinary men

You sing to her, and Romance is your name, your name



Never worries about, never harbours a doubt

You're the fabric that she clings to

Wrap her up in binding gravity

Like an alienated lover who's been robbing herself blind

Pretending she's a thief

But the only thing she steals is time

She's gonna take it in her hands (She pretends...)

She's gonna spend it all on you (She pretends...)

Until she's broke without a moment left to spare

She's building up immunities

Building up immunities

And that's all she's ever done, ever done

Oh-oh-oh



CHORUS

No, she just can't get it right

No matter how hard she try

No matter what she do

She still pretends it's you

No matter how hard she try

No matter what she do

No, she just can't get it right

'Cause she still pretends it's you
