When I walk into a room,
I smile and I say pay no attention to the gloom,
it's an overcast day.
When I walk out of your life,
know that I love you,
I'm still thinking of you,
despite, this person I like
I don't want to offend,
Lord knows I'll bend
When I say that I love you, I'm straight
Lord knows it's true,
there's someone inside you
That makes me the woman I am
I'm a lousy pretender
You see through my lies
I'm a lousy pretender
It's a drugstore disguise
I'm a lousy pretender
Lies are my friends
And I need someone like me
to share my unlikely future plans
When I write you a song
I'll sing it for you in a motel room,
won't take long
I wanna take my time
The words will all be sincere
But the look on my face
Can't fight back the memories
and the tears
The decisions I make,
the I don't want to offend,
the Lord knows I'll bend
When I say that I love you, I'm straight
The Lord knows it's true,
there's someone inside you
That makes me the woman I am
I'm a lousy pretender,
you see through my lies
I'm a lousy pretender,
it's a drugstore disguise
I'm a lousy pretender,
I'm a general that surrenders
Just a drunken bartender,
I'm a cheating one
