Master Pretender

Never thought that I was weak Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad Still get up on my own two feet I always believed that I was free That I had some sense of integrity That would rise above whatever tried to change me But honey, now, I won't wait For somethin' to bring me 'round and smile 'Cause that only sticks for a while Then I'm back again Oh, I'm a master pretender I always knew that I was young But with a head held high and a sharp tongue I could fool most anyone I never expected to be struck By the fatal hands of fortune or by Sheer bad luck But honey, now, we won't change And memories just rearrange And fall into place So I'm back again Oh, I'm a master pretender Ah, the streets of New York City Sure look pretty from way up here And I was headed home Just felt more alone the further I go I always thought that you'd be here But shit gets fucked up and People just disappear So honey, now, don't be mad Time has told me it can't be that bad And if it is, well, I'll be goddamned But I'll stick around I'll be your master pretender Yeah, I'll stick around I'll be your master pretender
