How many mountains to get some confidence
How many debates to earn some tailwind
The years pass, I’m still the same
What will it take, why the wait

Up and down
I’m losing ground

Pretender tell me, what to believe
I ain’t got a sweet tooth for lying
Big spender show me, how to succeed
My wallet is spreading thin
Oh oh what to do
I am me and not you
Oh oh what to say
Please make the strain go away, pretender

How many right turns, to reach some kind of goal
How many dressing up, for me to play some ball
Seasons change, still the same range
What will it take, tell me why the wait

Up and down
I’m moving around

Pretender tell me, what to believe
I ain’t got a sweet tooth for lying
Big spender show me, how to succeed
My wallet is spreading thin
Oh oh what to do
I am me and not you
Oh oh what to say
Please make the strain go away, pretender

Just don’t ask me to lie
No I, I’d give anything else a try, pretender

Pretender tell me, what to believe
I ain’t got a sweet tooth for lying
Big spender show me, how to succeed
My wallet is spreading thin
Oh oh what to do
I am me and not you
Oh oh what to say
Please make the strain go away, pretender

Pretender tell me, what to believe
I ain’t got a sweet tooth for lying
Big spender show me, how to succeed
My wallet is spreading thin
Oh oh what to do
I am me and not you
Oh oh what to change
I seem to be stuck in this lane, pretender
