Born adult baby how can you live so naive?
How can you have faith if you always just believe?
I'd like to give my trust I can no longer afford
To be your friend when I'm a stranger at your door
Oh can't I pretend?
Oh can't I pretend just a little bit more?
Oh can't I pretend?
Oh mama can't I pretend just a little bit more?
See something done, see it all the way through
Some legal action may be required before I can trust you
I've got a spine that's been tapped, many times
I wish it was fiction but it's medical friction, in my mind
Oh can't I pretend?
Mama can't I pretend just a little bit more?
Oh can't I pretend?
Mama can't I pretend just a little bit more?
