My Pretending Days Are Over - The Dells

Oh my pretending days are over

Gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood

My pretending days are over

Gonna leave acting

To the stars in Hollywood

Oh yeah yeah

I should receive the Academy Award

For every girl I fooled

In this old town

I played my tricks on them

Told them they looked so sweet

When I knew all the time

Not a one did I want to keep

My pretending days are over

I'm gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood

My pretending

My pretending days are over

I'm gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood

Oh I used to masquerade

From one girl to another

But since I met you

I can't go any further

(Just one kiss) just one kiss

(From your sweet lips)

From your sweet lips

Brought me down down

Down from my knees

My pretending days are over

And I'm glad I found

A girl just like you

My pretending

My pretending days are over

And make mention

Else somebody see the truth

Oh

You made me find myself

I don't pretend no more

I stopped acting like someone

On a late late TV show

(You you you you)

You you helped me find myself

(Girl you helped me)

(Yes you helped me to find myself)

And just because of you

(You you you you)

I don't have to act like someone else

I don't have to

I don't have to

Act like somebody else

My pretending days are over

I'm gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood

My my my pretending days are over

I'm gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood

My my pretending my pretending

Days are over

I'm gonna leave the acting

To the stars in Hollywood

Oh

My pretending days are over
