My Pretending Days Are Over

My pretending days are over

Gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood

My pretending days are over

Gonna leave acting

To the stars in Hollywood

Oh, yeah, yeah

I should receive the Academy Award

For every girl I fooled

In this old town

I played my tricks on them

Told them they looked so sweet

When I knew all the time

Not a one did I want to keep

My pretending days are over

I'm gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood

My pretending days are over

I'm gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood

I used to masquerade

From one girl to another

But since I met you

I can't go any further

(Just one kiss) just one kiss

(From your sweet lips)

From your sweet lips

Brought me down, down

Down from my knees

My pretending days are over

And I'm glad I found

A girl just like you

My pretending days are over

And make mention

Else somebody see the truth

You made me find myself

I don't pretend no more

I stopped acting like someone

On a late, late TV show

(You, you, you, you)

You, you helped me find myself

(Girl, you helped me)

(Yes, you helped me to find myself)

And just because of you

(You, you, you, you)

I don't have to act like someone else

(I don't have to act like somebody else)

My pretending days are over

I'm gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood

My, my pretending days are over

I'm gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood

My pretending days are over

I'm gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood...
