[Intro] We sit and hold hands as we watch the shadows swallow the sun. I feel your grip tighten. I look. Your eyes are locked onto me. I blush. Hmmm... haha. I always blush. I cannot help it. I smile... I smile — because I know what you want. Mmm... Ha...hm... I close my eyes and lean in — just a bit. Just enough to show you — that I want it too. A soft. Gentle. Kiss. ...You take the bait. I just love to pretend! [Verse I] Tongue. I pull your hair. I bite your lip. I pull back. Glare. Oh... you liked that, didn’t you? I like to pretend! 🎶 Sometimes I play the good girl. Your girl. Watch me twirl. Lean back. Catch me... Gasp! Is this forever? Yes. Yes it is. Can you feel it? I feel it too. I like to pretend! This has no end! Everytime I say, "I love you." Kiss me... [Verse II] Pink dress. Flower hat. Permed hair. Oops... I forgot my underwear. Haha!...hm Lace and blush and cotton candy lies — But underneath? You know I have got bite behind the thighs. I curtsy. I giggle. I twirl. I sin. You try to pray — But I pull you in. I like to pretend! That I do not know exactly what I am doing — That my lipstick just happened to match the ropes I’m chewing. I will be your good girl. Watch me swirl. Finger in my hair — playing with a curl. I like to pretend that this will never... You know. I will kick my leg back as I kiss you in Paris. I will be the one you want take home with you to meet your parents. I love you! I love you so much! I love you more than anything! I would die for you! I would live for you! Please! Tell me this is real! Tell me this is true! Tell me that you love me too! I just love to pretend! Manicure. Pedicure. Blush my cheeks. Play your cards right — I will let you peek. I play nice — with a hint of naughty. Take me out on a date. I love a good romantic comedy. Just know. I like to kiss in the front row. Let them watch. ha! Hehahm. ooh! Popcorn... ... Oh, Wait! Hold on. It is stuck in my tooth. can you get it for me? ... I will not bite you... Not again. I promise. Yes! pinky promise! ... Stop being such a coward and get it! ... I do not care if everyone is watching us! Just get it! It hurts! ... Yes. tank you. Aaaaaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah? Oh, no! I am so sorry! It is a reflex! We should go! I will get you bandaged up. You should know better than to put your finger in my mouth. Oh, No! That is a lot of blood. I am feeling dizzy. I think I am going to pass out. Catch Me! Gasp! ... I should really cut all of that out... Nah. I just love to pretend! Ha...ahah! [Bridge] Stitch! Stitch! Stitch! I will kiss your wounds. I will hold you tight. Run my fingers through your hair! Whisper in your ear. Make you feel — like I care. It was not my fault! My jaw locks sometimes. I do not understand why you are trying to guilt me! I was trying to be sweet! I dressed up for you — pink tulle, ribbons, glossy gloss, even wore the lashes that scratch the back of my eyelid when I blink. For you. And you yell at me? Just because I chewed a little? ... I was not smiling! That was my lockjaw! --- Ok, fine! I am sorry! Is that what you want to hear? I should not have bit your finger — and I definitely should not have twisted my head. You always do this. You ruin everything. You make me feel insane for loving you this much. For rearranging my mind until it fit yours like a glove. A tight one. With buttons. Pink ones. Why are you crying? Is it the pain? Or is it because you know I am right? I just love to pretend! That I am normal. That I am nice. That I do not crave you. But I do. Every. Last. Bite. [Verse III] No! Please do not leave me! You are my Snuggly-Wuggly. I will be a good girl. I will put on an apron. Cook. Clean. And bake you cupcakes. Please! I will do anything. I will even suck your— ... ... ...No? ...Oh. Right. The lockjaw. ... Did you call security?! Fine. I will leave. I was getting bored of you anyways. I just love to pretend!
