I can't pretend 

I'm sorry we're apart 

I can't pretend 

I just can't fool my heart 

Though I make mine 

My friends all seem to realize 

Their smiles, that look in my eye 

I can't pretend 

I simply can't be gayer 

For in the end 

My tears give me away 

Without you dear 

I live a lie 

I can't defend 

I love you 

And I can't pretend
