I'll Pretend

(Dwight Yoakam)



I'll make believe

That the sight of her in my head's seldom seen

And then insist

That I can't still taste the inside of her kiss

With luck and time

I might even fool myself with both those lies

'Til there's no need

I'll make believe.



I'll just pretend

That she really never left me in the end

And all night long

Swear right up and down 'round

Here there's nothing wrong

With work my mind

Could cause the truth to get lost or hard to find

But until then

I'll just pretend.



--- Instrumental ---



Oh, how I wish you could've seen her

Come crawlin' back a beggin' me

'Cause if you had I wouldn't need her

Like I do so desperately.



I'll just pretend

That she really never left me in the end

And all night long

Swear right up and down 'round

Here there's nothing wrong

With work my mind

Could cause the truth to get lost or hard to find

But until then

I'll just pretend...
