Make Believe

We could make believe I love you,

Only make believe that you love me.

Others find peace of mind in pretending,

Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we

Make believe our lips are blending

In a phantom kiss, or two, or three?

Might as well make believe I love you,

For to tell the truth, I do.

Your pardon I pray, 'twas too much to say,

The words that betray my heart.

We only pretend, you do not offend,

In playing a lover's part.

We could make believe I love you,

Only make believe that you love me.

Others find peace of mind in pretending,

Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we

Make believe our lips are blending

In a phantom kiss, or two, or three?

Might as well make believe I love you,

For to tell the truth, I do.
