I Pretend Kim Carnes

Time hasn't healed the wound
I wish I was in her shoes
She's got the man I could never have
My kisses were never missed
How it hurts to be second best
Ooh, let me tell you what I have to do
To get through the night

I pretend that you're loving me
After dark
Pretend that you're holding me
Next to your heart
Pretend that you wanted me
Right from the start
Ooh, I'm lost in my fantasy
I pretend that your valentine
Is for me
Pretend that I'm the only one
That you need
Pretend that we're making love in our dreams
Ooh, I'm lost in my fantasy

Memories that should have died
Come alive when you walk on by
I wish my eyes could turn away
For this heart, there is no escape
When the truth is too hard to take
Ooh, let me tell you what I have to do
To get through the night

I pretend that you're loving me
After dark
Pretend that you're holding me
Next to your heart
Pretend that you wanted me
Right from the start
Ooh, I'm lost in my fantasy
I pretend that your valentine
Is for me
Pretend that I'm the only one
That you need
Pretend that we're making love
In our dreams
Ooh, I'm lost in my fantasy
Oh

I pretend that you're loving me
After dark
Pretend that you're holding me
Next to your heart
Pretend that you wanted me
Right from the start
Ooh, I'm lost in my fantasy
I pretend that your valentine
Is for me
Pretend that I'm the only one
That you need
Pretend that we're making love
In our dreams
Ooh, I'm lost in my fantasy
Oh
(Pretend that we're making love)
Oh, pretend that we're making love
Oh, pretend that we're making love
I'm lost in my fantasy
Pretend that you're loving me
After dark
Pretend that you're holding me
Next to your heart
Pretend that you wanted me
Right from the start
Ooh, I'm lost in my fantasy
I pretend that you're loving me
After dark
Pretend that you're holding me
Next to your heart
Pretend that you wanted me
Right from the start
Oh, I'm lost in my fantasy
