He's a pretender, he knows just what to say He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day He's a pretender, that fish that got away He's a pretender, why'd I fall in love It was so strange the way he held my hand I wanted more than just a one night stand He had a way of making me believe That he was mine and that he'd never leave [Chorus:] I know that I should take my friend's advice 'Cause if it happened once, you know it happens twice If there's a chance then I know I've got to try I'll make him dance with me, I'll make him tell me why He's a pretender He's a pretender [Intermediate:] I'm not afraid to fall a hundred times And I'll believe in all your silly lies I'd like to think that I could change your mind Don't say that I am blind, I know all about your kind He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day He's a pretender, that fish that got away He's a pretender, why'd I fall in love I like the way he moved across the floor And when he danced with me I knew he wanted more But in the dark things happened much too fast I should've stopped him then, I knew it wouldn't last [chorus] [intermediate] He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day He's a pretender, that fish that got away He's a pretender, why'd I fall in love
