[Chorus:]   Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with   Can we fake the life you know I should have had   Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care   Or I'll have to give the part to someone else      You seem to have an important part   The lead role of my heart   You played it well along time ago   Until I started falling in love   And then you changed your character   And avoided all of your lines   Now the man I love is gone now   Can you play his part at this time      [Chorus]      Love is like a see saw it takes two in order for it to work   I'm working hard, I'm playing my part but the scene still won't work   And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong   So I'll find someone who loves me   And who can play your part for life      I deserve a lot better than this   And I'm tired of acting like it's okay for me to give you my love   And receive nothing back in return      [Chorus]
