[Verse 1]
Don't you pretend that you don't need a little more from me
You're actin' like it's nothin'
We both know it's somethin'
Even in the dark, anyone can see
So don't you pretend that you're not wishin' I was next to you
Hot and cold as ever
Want me, but you never let your guard down
And I need some proof

[Pre-Chorus]
You make me want you
But you don't know where this ends
Baby, I wanna love you
But I can't take the suspense

[Chorus]
I said, don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Try to deny and be cool as you walk away from me
Steady as you go, but tremblin' in your voice shows
There's a part of you slowly dyin'
I'm not gonna wait and just play victim to your vanities
I don't have the time, babe, tell me that you're mine, babe
Why you keepin' your feelings from me?
[Pre-Chorus]
You make me want you
But you don't know where this ends
Baby, I wanna love you
But I can't take the suspense

[Chorus]
I said, don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend, oh yeah

[Bridge]
Don't you run and hide, let's find out tonight
I got a feelin' that you wanna fall
Tell me, yes or no, I can't take no more
I want the real thing or nothin' at all

[Break]
I just wanna see, who you tryin’ to be, yeah

[Chorus]
I said don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Oh, yeah, no, no
[Chorus/Outro]
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
(My love, my love)
Don't you pretend
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
(My love, my love)
Don't you pretend, oh yeah
(I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be)
Don't you pretend
