Straight out of some story   You walked in, in all your glory   I thought you were perfect for me   I was out of my mind   Looked like I was winning   It was the best love I'd ever been in   Just when we were beginning   The end--you left me behind      And I was looking forward to a happy ending   So much for pretending      I should have known better   Than to think of happy ever   After--you and me together   I was out of my league   I kept my heart hidden   And now I'm wishing that I didn't   Oh who am I kidding   You weren't even intrigued      And I was looking forward to a happy ending   So much for pretending      It could have been beautiful   If I'd only met you   If I'd only let you know   What you meant to me   And if I could I would   Give you a demonstration   Of how my imagination   Thought it ought to be   So much for pretending      Ooh yeah, pretending...pretending   So much for pretending
