Pretender

Third of September, gonna be late

Beat up Camaro, that smile on his face

In my driveway, class will have to wait

Let's take a drive

Zero to sixty down Innocence Road

He was taking my heart 'bout as fast as it would go

What a big show, how was I to know at the time?

Seventeen, he was my everything

My first kiss, first touch, first love to remember

And he played the part knowing I'd fall so hard

I was young enough to know how to surrender

And he was old enough to be a pretender

Whispered "I love you"s don't mean much

When you open up your eyes and

Find you're not the only one who's felt his touch

His memories cut so deep they keep reminding me of

Seventeen, he was my everything

My first kiss, first touch, first love to remember

And he played the part knowing I'd fall so hard

I was young enough to know how to surrender

And he was old enough to be a pretender

If I had to do it over

There's no chance that I would ever

Let his perfect smile pull me in

If I knew that he was just pretending

Seventeen, he was my everything

My first kiss, first touch, first love to remember

He played the part knowing I'd fall so hard

I was young enough to know how to surrender

And he was old enough to be a pretender

A pretender

A pretender
