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
