The Girl You Pretended To Be

(album: The Help Machine - 2019)

A little too smooth
You made all the right moves
But you didn't fool me
I knew anyway
The plot in your head
To stay one step ahead
Of the girl you pretended to be

How you got in her body
While she was away
I'll admit that part remains a mystery
There's one thing I know
It's I'd much rather go
With the girl you pretended to be

Down to the detail you had her spot on
You thought you knew how the game could be won
I thought I heard a variation in tone
You said the wrong thing and your cover was blown

You're just as pretty
And you've got the skills
I know it's a difficult role to play
You may be smart
But you don't have a heart
Like the girl you pretended to be

Down to the detail you had her spot on
You thought you knew how the game could be won
I thought I heard a variation in tone
You said the wrong thing and your cover was blown

Now that I've caught you
You've nothing to say
I've proven your guilt undeniably
If there's one thing I'll say
It's I'd much rather stay
With the girl you pretended to be

All I'm asking from you
Could you please turn into
The girl you pretended to be?
