Why Do You Pretend? (lyrics)

Go down to the arcade
on a Friday night
play the slot machines
then later you get in a fight

Walking home with Annie
I heard you lost your way
your father came out looking
and you know he’ll never say

Why do you pretend
why do you pretend

Is it just to make me love you
or is it just to make me hate you
how does it feel
yes how does it feel

Your mother’s always nagging
why don’t you get a job
and the one that you run with
really is no good

A cut lip was all you got
you could say that you were lucky
but love it was not
I’d say you’re pretty unlucky

Why do you pretend
why do you pretend

Is it just to make me love you
or is it just to make me hate you
how does it feel
yes how does it feel
