Oh, I get a cold reaction when we touch
No passion dancing in your eyes
And when theres no believing
Thats when love stops breathing
And the fire dies
Oh, you keep holding back
Your love and affection
I feel like I wanna die
No, its just not enough
To be alone in love
It would feel so good
If we could just keep trying
Why cant we pretend
That were still in love?
Oh, baby, why cant we pretend?
Why cant we pretend
That were still in love?
Oh, baby, why cant we pretend?
Ive got the strangest feeling
When my heart started beating
Out of time with you
And baby, Im still shaking off
The pain Ive taken
I guess I always will
Oh, cause you keep coming on
With your false emotion
Its tearing me up inside
Ooh, your kiss is so cold
That I cant let go
It feels so good
That I just cant help myself
Why cant we pretend
That were still in love?
Oh, baby, why cant we pretend?
Why cant we pretend
That were still in love?
Oh, baby, why cant we pretend?
Its only love misunderstood
No, no, it cant be bad
If it feels this good
You stole my heart
Aint that enough
But go ahead and ask me
Just to give it up, oh, no
Oh, you keep holding back
Your love and affection
I feel like I wanna die
No, its just not enough
To be alone in love
It would feel so good
If we could just keep trying
Why cant we pretend
That were still in love?
Oh, baby, why cant we pretend?
Why cant we pretend
That were still in love?
Oh, baby, why cant we pretend?
Im still shaking
From the pain Ive taken
No passion, baby
