Play Your Part - Leading Role Radio

Can you pretend?

Can you pretend?



Can you pretend to be

The man I should have been with?

Can we fake the life

You know I should have had?



Can we do a better job

Of pretending that you really care?

Or I'll have to give the part

To someone else



You seem to have an important part

The leading role of my heart

You played it well, a long time ago

Until I started falling in love



And then you changed your character

And avoided all of your lines

Now the man I love is gone

Now can you play his part or just try?



Can you pretend to be

The man I should have been with?

Can we fake the life

You know I should have had?



Can we do a better job

Of pretending that you really care?

Or I'll have to give the part

To someone else



Love is like a see saw

It takes two in order for it to work

I workin' hard, I'm playin' my part

But the scene still won't work



Can you pretend to be

The man I should have been with?

Can we fake the life

You know I should have had?



Can we do a better job

Of pretending that you really care?

Or I'll have to give the part

To someone else



And rehearsals are long

Because your timing is all wrong

So I'll find someone who loves me

And who can play your part for life



I deserve a lot better than this

And I'm tired of actin' like

It's okay for me to give you my love

And receive nothing back in return



Can you pretend to be

The man I should have been with?

Can we fake the life

You know I should have had?



Can we do a better job

Of pretending that you really care?

Or I'll have to give the part

To someone else



Can you pretend to be

The man I should have been with?

Can we fake the life

You know I should have had?



Can we do a better job

Of pretending that you really care?

Or I'll have to give the part

To someone else
