Tragically Hip - Pretend lyrics

rate me

If I ask you a question

are you going to lie to me?

Is that your question?

Because that one is easy

It’s gripping the city

and hitting the town

and no one on earth is

doing this now

If you can pretend

and I can pretend

pretending won’t end

and then and well then…

If you take the chances

I’ll take the bows

saying ‘no one on earth is

doing this now’

But if I ask you a question

are you gonna lie to me?

Is that your question?

Because that one is easy

If you don’t pretend

and I don’t pretend

pretending might end

but pretend can pretend to end

You can’t pretend

Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can.

You can’t pretend

Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can.

You can’t pretend

Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can.

You can’t pretend

Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can
