I Cant Pretend by Oingo Boingo Lyrics

You thought you were my best friend, but I never knew why
I never felt too comfortable around you, but I lied

There was something about the way you touched me late at night
It made me want to forget the fact that something wasn't right

But I just don't know what's happening to me anymore
And I feel like bad people play some part

I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I'm just (I'm just), beside myself
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I'm just (I'm just), beside mysеlf
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I'm just bеside myself

I'd like to talk to you, I'd like to touch your mind
I'd like to run my fingers over your design
Sometimes I even like the lying and the pain
And all the agony that goes with this old game
But when you say you love me, something doesn't jive
And I feel like bad people play some part

I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I'm just (I'm just), beside myself
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I'm just (I'm just), beside myself
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I'm just beside myself

[Instrumental Interlude]

I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I'm just (I'm just), beside myself
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I'm just (I'm just), beside myself
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I'm just (I'm just), beside myself
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I can't (I can't), pretend anymore
I'm just beside myself
