Pretend

Good to see you

My you're looking well

Freedom pleases you

Honey I can tell

You just can't imagine

The pain that I've been through

Why is it so easy on you

Pretend

As a favor to a friend

Say you miss me now and then

Would it hurt you to pretend

I don't care if it aint't true

Would you say you're hurtin' too

Won't you please pretend

It has only

Been a month or so

But to see you

One would never know

It's hurtin' me so badly

To know you've gone away

Must you look so happy today

(Chorus)

I'm all right

I'm doing okay

I'm already over you

And I'm just pretending too

(Chorus)

Tony Arata
