Baby it's been a hard time Just to keep my loving alive And I tried night after night But only the shadows survived You never gave anything to me So I'm taking my heart back Cause even the heartless can see You pretender pretender And you got no lovin' to give So remember pretender Without a love You can never live (inside) You threw every line you knew And like a fool I fell from the start But I got worked up for you You shot your last arrow Through my heart I'm gettin' out while I still got time And whoever you turn to I'm sure they're gonna find You pretender pretender And you got no lovin' to give So remember pretender Without a love You can never live You know you had your day So don't ask me to stay Cause I'll walk away You pretender pretender And you got no lovin' to give So remember pretender Without a love You can never live You pretender pretender And you got no lovin' to give So remember pretender Without a love You can never live You pretender pretender And you got no lovin' to give So remember pretender Without a love You can never live You pretender pretender And you got no lovin' to give
