Lyrics

I can almost feel you laying next to me
Hold the phone real close so I can hear you breathe
Tell me your secrets, tell me your lies
Make something up that we could improvise

You can be my student, I’ll keep you after school
‘Cause repetition’s the only way for you to learn the rules
all you need is to participate, I will do the same
you can be the referee in this exhibition game

Let’s pretend that we’re somebody else tonight
Make believe we don’t know if it turns out right
It’s the dream that never ends
Let’s pretend, let’s pretend tonight…

I can be the Doctor, we can have some fun
With no emergencies or need for 911
Therapeutic and clinical as you can get
We can psychoanalyze it till we break a sweat

You can be the Pizza man knocking on my door
Or the Cable guy I catch fishin’ through my drawers
Like a Cop in disguise or a Private Eye
Let’s go undercover we could improvise

Let’s pretend that we’re somebody else tonight
Let’s make believe we don’t know if it turns out right
It’s the dream that never ends
Let’s pretend, let’s pretend tonight…
