Pretender - Aretha Franklin

I wake myself up every time

I daydream of love for you and me

'Cause I’m just fooling myself

I should remember

You’re just a pretender of love

(Nothing but a pretender)

Can’t love no one

(Pretending to be in love)

Ooh, pretender

(No one but a pretender)

Can’t love no one

(Pretends to be in love)

You can’t trust the imagination

It never tells you who’s for real

You don’t give love

You’re just a lender

I should remember

That you’re just a pretender

(Nothing but a pretender)

Can’t love no one

(Pretending to be in love)

Oh but I wanted (to be your)

I wanted to be (to be your lover)

To be what you wanted

Everything you could need

Oh yeah (every)

You were everything (I could dream of)

I ever could dream of

But I really (should be your)

Really should be (should be your lover)

Keeping your, feeling your, having your love

Oh, pretender (pretender)

Pretender

Give me your love

Pretender

Why can’t you be for real?

Aw, baby

Pretender

Why won’t you believe in what you feel?

Well, I thought you were mine, baby, all the time

And I know that you dig what I’m sayin'

It’s a player’s dream just to have a fool

But sweet baby, I ain’t playin'

It’s funky nothin’s, baby

(Nothing but a pretender)

Can’t love no one

(Pretending to be in love)

Ooh pretender

(No one but a pretender)

Can’t love no one

(Pretending to in love)

Ooh pretender

(Nothing but a pretender)

Can’t love no one

(Pretending to be in love)

Ooh pretender

(No one but a pretender)

Pretender

(Pretending to in love)

Oh pretender

(Nothing but a pretender)

Can’t love no one

(Pretending to be in love)

Ooh pretender

(No one but a pretender)

Can’t love no one

(Pretending to be in love)
