[Chorus:]nCan you pretend to be the man I should have been withnCan we fake the life you know I should have hadnCan we do a better job of pretending that you really carenOr I'll have to give the part to someone elsennYou seem to have an important partnThe lead role of my heartnYou played it well along time agonUntil I started falling in lovenAnd then you changed your characternAnd avoided all of your linesnNow the man I love is gone nownCan you play his part at this timenn[Chorus]nnLove is like a see saw it takes two in order for it to worknI'm working hard, I'm playing my part but the scene still won't worknAnd rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrongnSo I'll find someone who loves menAnd who can play your part for lifennI deserve a lot better than thisnAnd I'm tired of acting like it's okay for me to give you my lovenAnd receive nothing back in returnnn[Chorus]
