Pretender - SMASH Cast

Pretender, an original song written by Lucie Silvas and Michael Busbee, performed by Katharine McPhee in The Transfer.

Lyrics:
Your dirty kiss, you tried to pull me right in
Your little tricks, you're used to winning
You play your part - dancer in the dark
Saying anything to try and steal away a heart

Now you got her, she's lying up in your bed
Don't seem to stop ya, you keep on calling
You're out of line, waster of my time
I just want to know how you can fall asleep at night

Hey, baby, you're just a pretender
I'm not crazy, should've known much better
Whatever you do, always twisting the truth
Well the table's 'bout to turn back right back on you

You must be drunk, did you forget your way home?
I'm not the one who's scared of being alone
Got me confused with someone who needs you
Might be the joker but I'm nobody's fool

Hey, baby, you're just a pretender
Don't mistake me, you might think you're clever boy
Whatever you do, always twisting the truth
Well the table's 'bout to turn back right back on you

Take all your life on somebody else
I got more strength, got more pride in myself
So, what now, who you gonna mess around?
I can tell you right now - ain't gonna be me

Hey, baby, you're just a pretender
I'm not crazy, should've known much better
Whatever you do, always twisting the truth
Well the table's 'bout to turn back right back on you

Well the table's 'bout to turn back right back on you
