Oingo Boingo Can T Pretend Lyrics

You thought you were my best friend
But I don't wonder why
I never felt too comfortable around you but I lied
There was something about the way you touched me late at night
You made me wanna forget the fact that something wasn't right.

But I just don't know what's happening to me anymore

And I feel...?

(But) I can't (I can't)
Pretend anymore. I'm just (I'm just)
Beside myself
I can't (I can't)
Pretend anymore. I'm just (I'm just)
Beside myself...

I'd like to talk to you, I'd like to touch your mind
I'd like to run my fingers over your design
Sometimes I even like the lying and the pain
And all the agony that goes with this old game.

But when you say you love me something doesn't jive
And I feel...?

(But) I can't (I can't)
Pretend anymore. I'm just (I'm just)
Beside myself
I can't (I can't)
Pretend anymore. I'm just (I'm just)
Beside myself...

(But) I can't (I can't)
Pretend anymore. I'm just (I'm just)
Beside myself
I can't (I can't)
Pretend anymore. I'm just (I'm just)
Beside myself...
