The Tragically Hip - Pretend lyrics

If I ask you a question
Are you going to lie to me?
Is that your question?
Because that one is easy

It's gripping the city and hitting the town
And no one on earth is doing this now

If you can pretend and I can pretend
Pretending won't end and then and well then
If you take the chances i'll take the bows
Saying, "No one on earth is doing this now"

But, if I ask you a question
Are you going to lie to me?
Is that your question?
Because that one is easy

If you don't pretend and I don't pretend
Pretending might end
But pretend can pretend to end, that's right



You can't pretend
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can
You can't pretend
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can

You can't pretend
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can
You can't pretend
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can
