Lyrics

© 1994 PRETENDING ENDING

YOU SAY YOU?RE LEAVING
AND YOU DON?T LOVE ME NO MORE
BUT BEFORE YOU SHUT THAT DOOR
WELL YOU?D BETTER BE REAL SURE

CHORUS:
CUZ I CAN?T TAKE NO PRETENDING ENDING
WHEN YOU?RE GONE, YOU?RE GONE FOR GOOD
SOON MY HEART WILL START THE MENDING
SO I NEED TO MAKE IT UNDERSTOOD
THERE AIN?T NO LYIN? ABOUT GOODBYIN?
AND IT?S YOUR LAST DIME THAT YOU?RE SPENDING
YOU CAN?T COME BACK HERE SAD AND CRYIN?
CUZ I CAN?T TAKE NO PRETENDING ENDING

THIS AIN?T THE FIRST TIME
THAT YOU?VE TORN MY HEART IN TWO
LEFT ME CRYING OVER YOU
WELL I THINK IT?S TIME YOU KNEW

CHORUS:
THAT I CAN?T TAKE NO PRETENDING ENDING
WHEN YOU?RE GONE, YOU?RE GONE FOR GOOD
SOON MY HEART WILL START THE MENDING
SO I NEED TO MAKE IT UNDERSTOOD

BRIDGE:
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY
BUT LOVE AIN?T SUPPOSED TO HURT THIS WAY
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO

THERE AIN?T NO LYIN? ABOUT GOODBYIN?
AND IT?S YOUR LAST DIME THAT YOU?RE SPENDING
YOU CAN?T COME BACK HERE SAD AND CRYIN?
CUZ I CAN?T TAKE NO PRETENDING ENDING

YOU CAN?T COME BACK HERE SAD AND CRYIN?
CUZ I CAN?T TAKE NO PRETENDING ENDING
