lyrics

Let's pretend it's a game
Let's pretend we've got nothing to lose
Let's pretend we're the same
Let's pretend I'm not frightened of you

A man in love
Is a fool is a liar with his pants on fire is a snake is a charmer is a chink in his own armour

There's a wandering eye
There's a wandering finger or two
And I'm wondering why
I'm here keeping my eye on you

A man in love
Is a priest is a drunk is a jealousy junkie, a con is a mark is a comfort in the dark

Let's pretend it's a game
that it's just a safari for you
Then I'll treat it the same
I'll be ready to run for you

And when they dust off my bones in a few million years or so
And they say "What's this creature?" I wonder will anyone know?

A man in love
Is a priest is a drunk is a jealousy junkie, a con is a mark is a comfort in the dark

Is a fool is a liar with his pants on fire is a thug is a charmer

Is a baby in your arms
