He's a pretender, he knows just what to say
he's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
he's a pretender, that fish that got away
he's a pretender, why'd i fall in love
It was so strange the way he held my hand
i wanted more than just a one night stand
he had a way of making me believe
that he was mine and that he'd never leave
Chorus:
I know that i should take my friend's advice
'cause if it happened once, you know it happens twice
if there's a chance then i know i've got to try
i'll make him dance with me, i'll make him tell me why
he's a pretender
he's a pretender
Intermediate:
I'm not afraid to fall a hundred times
and i'll believe in all your silly lies
i'd like to think that i could change your mind
don't say that i am blind, i know all about your kind
He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
he's a pretender, that fish that got away
he's a pretender, why'd i fall in love
I like the way he moved across the floor
and when he danced with me i knew he wanted more
but in the dark things happened much too fast
i should've stopped him then, i knew it wouldn't last
(chorus)
(intermediate)
He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
he's a pretender, that fish that got away
he's a pretender, why'd i fall in love
