Straight out of some story

You walked in, in all your glory

I thought you were perfect for me

I was out of my mind

Looked like I was winning

It was the best love I'd ever been in

Just when we were beginning

The end--you left me behind



And I was looking forward to a happy ending

So much for pretending



I should have known better

Than to think of happy ever

After--you and me together

I was out of my league

I kept my heart hidden

And now I'm wishing that I didn't

Oh who am I kidding

You weren't even intrigued



And I was looking forward to a happy ending

So much for pretending



It could have been beautiful

If I'd only met you

If I'd only let you know

What you meant to me

And if I could I would

Give you a demonstration

Of how my imagination

Thought it ought to be

So much for pretending



Ooh yeah, pretending...pretending

So much for pretending
