Don't you pretend that you don't need a little more from me
You're acting like it's nothing
We both know it's something
Even in the dark, anyone can see
So don't you pretend that you're not wishing I was next to you
Hot and cold as ever
Want me but you never let your guard down
And I need some proof
You make me want you
But you don't know where this ends
Baby, I wanna love you
But I can't take the suspense
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Don't you pretend, oh yeah
Try to deny and be cool as you walk away from me
Steady as you go, but trembling in your voice shows
There's a part of you slowly dying
I'm not gonna wait and just play victim to your vanities
I don't have the time, babe, tell me that you're mine, babe
Why you keeping your feelings from me?
You make me want you
But you don't know where this ends
Baby, I wanna love you
But I can't take the suspense
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Don't you pretend, oh yeah
Don't you run and hide, let's find out tonight
I got a feeling that you wanna fall
Tell me, yes or no, I can't take no more
I want the real thing or nothing at all
I just wanna see, who you trying to be, yeah
I said don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Oh, yeah, no, no
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me)
(Who you trying to be)
Don't you pretend, oh
