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

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

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

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

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
