She pretends it's you   When she's giving him her mouth,    Her words, her tenderness      She pretends it's you   Who's holding her and showing her compassion   When he wants her nakedness      She Pretends...   You're sharing secrets with her   Never holding back the truth      She Pretends...   You're stealing moments together   Arm in arm with you when she's with him      She pretends you're laughing and crying together   Swimming in waves of endless pleasure   She pretends you're touching her face with yours   When he's turning in his sleep      She makes-believe she can hear your voice    Telling her you understand everything that she's feeling   When he doesn't say a word   She believes you understand her more than he ever will   Even though you're barely friends   Oh-oh-oh      CHORUS   No, she just can't get it right   No matter how hard she try   No matter what she do   She still pretends it's you      She was one of your disciples long before you drew her in   Worshipped the safety of your embrace   There are pagan gods and demagogues and ordinary men   You sing to her, and Romance is your name, your name      Never worries about, never harbours a doubt   You're the fabric that she clings to   Wrap her up in binding gravity   Like an alienated lover who's been robbing herself blind   Pretending she's a thief   But the only thing she steals is time   She's gonna take it in her hands (She pretends...)   She's gonna spend it all on you (She pretends...)   Until she's broke without a moment left to spare   She's building up immunities   Building up immunities   And that's all she's ever done, ever done   Oh-oh-oh      CHORUS   No, she just can't get it right   No matter how hard she try   No matter what she do   She still pretends it's you   No matter how hard she try   No matter what she do   No, she just can't get it right   'Cause she still pretends it's you      CHORUS TAG:   She Pretends... and   Romance is your name   She Pretends... and   Romance is your name
