Lyrics:

Charles Tobias / Paul Rusincky (W. Edward Breuder?)



I can't pretend

I'm sorry we're apart

I can't pretend

I just can't fool my heart

Though I make mine

My friends all seem to realize

Their smiles, that look in my eye

I can't pretend

I simply can't be gayer

For in the end

My tears give me away

Without you dear

I live a lie

I can't defend

I love you

And I can't pretend
