DON'T PRETEND  (c) 1986 Monica E. Gómez, ASCAP Verse 1:  We shared one sun-dappled lunch in a garden restaurant two white wines amid the vines, feeling nonchalant. Verse 2:  Little white circle of tablecloth, we talked across one rose drank tea with spice, ate lemon ice.  It was nice, I suppose...but Refrain:  Don’t pretend to know me.  Don’t think that I care. My feelings don’t come easy.  Let me get some air. Verse 3:  I watched your silhouette as you lay sleeping in the dark. We played the game, fanned the flame, kindled every spark. Verse 4:  You were oh so careful not to utter sentiment so non-committal, I’m certain it’ll be a night well spent. Refrain:  You don’t pretend to know me.  You don’t think that I care. Your feelings don’t come easy.  You let me get some air. Verse 5:  Now there’s yellow morning light on my kitchen tablecloth. My coffee’s cold, I’m feeling old.  Was I the flame or moth? Verse 6:  I sit alone just thinking back on all that it was not. You were gone before the dawn and I don’t like what I got. Refrain:  Don’t pretend to know me.  Don’t think that I care. My feelings don’t come easy.  Let me get some air. Final Refrain:  No, you don’t pretend to know me.  You don’t know that I care. My feelings don’t die easy.  Just let me get some air.
