Pretending by Eric Clapton

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
It's 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

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

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, 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
