ERIC CLAPTON LYRICS: Pretending

(by Jerry Lynn Williams)


How many times must we tell the tale?
How many times must we fall?
Living in lost memory
You just recalled

Working on the sound of the band
Trying to get the music right
Two go out working
Three stay home at night 

	That's when she said she was pretending 
	Like she knew the plan 
	That's when I knew she was pretending 
	Pretending to understand 
	Pretending, pretending 
	Pretending, pretending

Satisfied but lost in love
Situations change
You're never who you used to think you are
How strange 

	Chorus

I get lost in alibis
Sadness can't prevail
Everybody knows strong love 
Can't fail

	Don't be pretending about how you feel
	Don't be pretending that your love is real
	Don't be pretending about how you feel
	Don't be pretending that your love is real
	Pretending, pretending 
	Pretending, pretending
