Love Is Just the Great Pretender

Lyrics

When we're alone together at night You say you love me, that's all right, I understand Well, if I thought you were telling the truth Like a rocket my heart would hit that roof Life would be so grand But the language of love is like a fine card trick One flashy illusion which is over too quick That it seemed second hand Love is the great pretender Love is the great pretender Love is the great pretender Love is just the great pretender L-O-V-E I've played this scene so many times Sweet violins and corny lines, a Hollywood remake Being left on the shelf is not such a bore Preferable to being smashed on the floor Life's only true break And when I choose a partner now I'm a lot more wise And don't confuse love with the colour of their eyes My usual mistake Love is the great pretender Love is the great pretender Love is the great pretender Love is just the great pretender L-O-V-E Don't want no bone, it's Billy on that saxophone And don't forget, the Animalettes Love is the great pretender (L-O-V-E) Love is the great pretender Love is the great pretender Love is the great pretender Love is the great pretender Love is the great pretender Love is the great pretender Love is just the great pretender
