I'll Pretend Lyrics by Dwight Yoakam
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(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...
