How You Pretend
Unveiling the Art of Deception in 'How You Pretend'
Lyrics
You are the cleverest that I have ever seen
You possess exceptional intelligence or wit, surpassing anyone I've encountered.
Do you know what to do with my dreams
Are you capable of understanding and fulfilling my aspirations?
Could you win me over with a fine serenade
Can you win my affection by presenting a beautiful, romantic song?
Words get out but they're bound to fade
Although information spreads, it tends to lose significance over time.
Still the more I hear the more you amaze
Your abilities and talents continue to astonish me with every revelation.
And I don't want to wait in vain
I'm unwilling to wait endlessly without purpose.
So turn me on
Excite or stimulate me.
Heal the pain now it's gone
Ease and alleviate the suffering or distress that existed.
I'm hear to stay every night and day
I'm committed to remaining with you consistently, day and night.
You won't get away I know how you pretend
You won't escape my notice; I see through your pretense.
You won't get away I know how you pretend
Repeated assertion: Your pretense won't succeed, I perceive it.
In the excess of a quiet memory
In the surplus of a silent memory,
There's a new day ahead for an old enemy
There's an upcoming opportunity for an old adversary or foe.
Could you get me over that wild island rage
Can you help me overcome intense anger or turmoil?
I heard them all say it comes with age
Commonly said: Maturity tempers intense emotions.
Still the more I owe the more I'm paid
The more I owe or am indebted, the more I gain or receive.
And I never wait in vain
I don't waste time waiting fruitlessly.
So turn me on
Stimulate or excite me once again.
Heal the pain now it's gone
Relieve the pain, it's now resolved.
I'm hear to stay every night and day
I'm committed to staying with you consistently, day and night.
You won't get away I know how you pretend
Repeated assertion: Your pretense won't succeed, I see through it.
You won't get away I know how you pretend
Repeated assertion: Your pretense won't succeed, I perceive it.
