about

Introspective sweet early 70's soul about love failing. Think Shuggie Otis.

lyrics

CAN’T KEEP PRETENDING
Written By Phil Berkowitz & Danny Caron, BMI/ASCAP

I can’t believe I realize
What lies within my soul
Been a fool too many times
Now it’s time to take control

Perhaps I’m asking too much
I don’t know what to think
I feel so out of touch
Should I go see another shrink

If you can’t hear my song
Then it’s time to move along
Cuz I just can’t keep pretending…any more

The things I intend to do
Well they never turn out the same
It is me or is it you
well who else can I blame

It’s time to pull up stakes
And start all over again
If we can’t learn from our mistakes
Then our hearts will never mend

Listen to my plea
And come along with me
Cause I just can’t keep pretending any more

Can’t keep pretending
Ooo
Can’t keep pretending
Ya!

Somes ya gotta march to the beat, of a different drum

Don't let what people say, get in the way
of who you are, or what you can become!

Went down to the marketplace
To get some Wild Mountain Honey
I’m at the wrong end of the race
And I’m yet to make real money

But time keeps marching on
Busy bees keep a-buzzin’
Someday we’ll all be gone
So give it that extra somethin’

Listen to my song
And you know where we belong
In a love that’s never ending
Ever more

Can’t keep pretending
Anymore

Can’t keep pretending
Anymore
