He's a pretender, he knows just what to say
He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender, that fish that got away
He's a pretender, why'd i fall in love

It was so strange the way he held my hand
I wanted more than just a one night stand
He had a way of making me believe
That he was mine and that he'd never leave

Chorus:

I know that i should take my friend's advice
'cause if it happened once, you know it happens twice
If there's a chance then i know i've got to try
I'll make him dance with me, i'll make him tell me why
He's a pretender
He's a pretender

Intermediate:

I'm not afraid to fall a hundred times
And i'll believe in all your silly lies
I'd like to think that i could change your mind
Don't say that i am blind, i know all about your kind

He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender, that fish that got away
He's a pretender, why'd i fall in love

I like the way he moved across the floor
And when he danced with me i knew he wanted more
But in the dark things happened much too fast
I should've stopped him then, i knew it wouldn't last

(chorus)
(intermediate)

He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender, that fish that got away
He's a pretender, why'd i fall in love
