Lyrics

the thing is i say i'm gonna do it, but i never do it
the thing is i say i'm gonna be there, but i'll never be there

you tell me that you're gonna do it,
but you know you'll never do it
you tell me that you're gonna be there,
but you know you'll never be there

we'll get together, just as soon as things turn better
i'd love to be with you, if only i wanted to

Chorus:
another day of play pretending, pretending away
pretending we're still close together, we pretend away
why do you make me play pretend with you

the thing is i really didn't want to take the time to see you
you tell me that you really meant to call,
but you never meant to call
the thing is we wanted to be there,
but we didn't really care

we'll get together, just as soon as things turn better
i'd love to be with you, if only i wanted to

Chorus

you be me if you want to
i'll be you if you want me to
then we'll promise each other
just like we always do

Chorus
