Still Pretending

I hear you coming up the driveway,

I tie a ribbon in my hair.

Well, look who's come to see me.

Funny, you always end up here.

But it's still pretending.

And it's still wrong.

And I still can't tell my heart

Why I'm still alone.

I guess I'm supposed to lock you out.

I guess I'm supposed to play it tough.

But I see how you look at me

Baby, it always is enough.

But it's still pretending.

And it's still wrong.

And I still can't tell my heart

Why I'm still alone.

Barefoot in the kitchen laughing,

Till you leave, when I'll be crying

Inside the door I close behind you,

Wishing you would stay.

But it's still pretending.

And it's still wrong.

And I still can't tell my heart

Why I'm still alone.
