[Verse 1]
I could spend ages reading the news
I could spend days singing the blues

[Pre-Chorus]
But I turn up the TV light
Give up without a fight

[Chorus]
Better than pretending
To know what's wrong and what's right

[Verse 2]
I could spend ages asking myself why
There's a million ways that I could say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
But I turn down the lights
Come on, baby, come inside

[Chorus]
Better than being
Some fool's bride
Better than pretending
To know what's wrong and what's right
[Musical Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn down the lights
Come on, baby, come inside

[Chorus]
Better than pretending
To know what's wrong and what's right
Better than being
Some fool's bride

Well, it's better than pretending
To know what's wrong and what's right

[Outro]
Oh, what's wrong and what's right
Doo, doo, oh...
