Aretha Franklin - Pretender lyrics
[Aretha Franklin - Pretender lyrics]
Pretender ooh, pretender
I wake myself up every time
I daydream of love for you and me
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
I should remember
You're just a pretender of love
(Nothing but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretending to be in love) ooh, pretender
(No one but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretends to be in love)
You can't trust the imagination
It never tells you who's for real
You don't give love you're just a lender
I should remember
That you're just a pretender
(Nothing but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretending to be in love)
Oh but I wanted (To be your)
I wanted to be (To be your lover)
To be what you wanted
Everything you could need oh yeah (Every)
You were everything (I could dream of)
I ever could dream of
But I really (Should be your)
Really should be (Should be your lover)
Keeping your, feeling your, having your love
Oh, pretender (Pretender)
Pretender, give me your love oh, ooh, yeah
Pretender, why can't you be for real?
Ah baby pretender, why won't you believe
In what you feel?
Well, I thought you were mine, baby
All the time
And I know that you dig what I'm sayin'
It's a player's dream just to have a fool
But sweet baby, I ain't playin'
It's funky nothin's, baby
(Nothing but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretending to be in love) ooh, pretender
(No one but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretends to in love) oh, pretender
(Nothing but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretending to be in love) ooh, pretender
(No one but a pretender) pretender
(Pretends to in love) oh, pretender
(Nothing but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretending to be in love) ooh, pretender
(No one but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretends to be in love)
I wake myself up every time
I daydream of love for you and me
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
I should remember
You're just a pretender of love
(Nothing but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretending to be in love) ooh, pretender
(No one but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretends to be in love)
You can't trust the imagination
It never tells you who's for real
You don't give love you're just a lender
I should remember
That you're just a pretender
(Nothing but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretending to be in love)
Oh but I wanted (To be your)
I wanted to be (To be your lover)
To be what you wanted
Everything you could need oh yeah (Every)
You were everything (I could dream of)
I ever could dream of
But I really (Should be your)
Really should be (Should be your lover)
Keeping your, feeling your, having your love
Oh, pretender (Pretender)
Pretender, give me your love oh, ooh, yeah
Pretender, why can't you be for real?
Ah baby pretender, why won't you believe
In what you feel?
Well, I thought you were mine, baby
All the time
And I know that you dig what I'm sayin'
It's a player's dream just to have a fool
But sweet baby, I ain't playin'
It's funky nothin's, baby
(Nothing but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretending to be in love) ooh, pretender
(No one but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretends to in love) oh, pretender
(Nothing but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretending to be in love) ooh, pretender
(No one but a pretender) pretender
(Pretends to in love) oh, pretender
(Nothing but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretending to be in love) ooh, pretender
(No one but a pretender) can't love no one
(Pretends to be in love)
