Pretend
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
It gets so hard to tell
Who's really here for me
Who's really down for me
Or who just down for the ride
So many issues of switchin' sides
I just cannot identify
My heart has a funny way of lettin' people in
I swear it's never my intensions
Always missin' all the signs that God be givin'
Never findin' out the truth until the endin'
That they pretend (oh)
That they pretend (oh, oh)
Please don't pretend with me, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Just keep it real
Just keep it real (oh, ooh-ooh)
Don't play pretend (ooh, ooh)
Don't play pretend (ooh, oh)
Please don't pretend with me, yeah (oh, oh, oh)
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real (oh, oh)
They say I'm weak, they say that I'm too naïve
Always tryna see, see the good in everybody (see the good in everybody)
You would probably think disappointments would've stopped me
Love just keep on bleedin', I know that God still got me
The reality hits, I learn not to expect people to give what I give
Or think how I think, all I know I love you
It could be too much for some of you to love the way I do
Don't play pretend (no, no)
Please don't pretend (no, no, oh)
Please don't pretend with me, yeah
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real (just keep it real with me, yeah)
Don't play pretend (don't, no)
Don't play pretend (don't, no)
Please don't pretend with me, yeah (no)
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real
I can't help it that my heart's so big
Constantly let people in
I love without a motive (love without a motive)
I just give and I give (oh, ooh-woah, oh, oh)
But I need somethin' tangible
Somethin' I can hold on too
A relationship I can feel
Somethin' real (yeah, yeah)
Somethin' real (yeah)
Somethin' real
Don't play pretend
Don't play pretend (no, no)
Please don't pretend with me (oh)
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real
Don't play pretend (don't)
Please don't pretend (don't play with me)
Please don't pretend with me, yeah (please don't play pretend)
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real (woo, ooh, don't play pretend, yeah)
Don't play pretend
Don't play pretend
Please don't pretend with me, yeah (oh)
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real
