lyrics

i spend my time wondering what you'd think
of situations i encounter everyday
one more decision
based on you alone
the facts are there for all to see
i know just who i wanna be

it's strange how i spend my time
pretending to be you
one little step behind imaginary you
you know i do
i know it's true
i've been pretending to be you
i've been pretending to be you

it's not as bad as it may sound
it's not like worship or kissin' trodden ground
i just like your style
and so i'm you awhile
the facts are there for all to see
i know just who i wanna be

it's strange how i spend my time
pretending to be you
one little step behind imaginary you
you know i do
i know it's true
i've been pretending to be you
i've been pretending to be you

one thousand faces when one is not enough
to each and every person i'm acting different
the world is not a stage
it's a role playing maze
facts are there for all to see
i know just who i want to be

strange how i spend my time
pretending to be you
one little step behind imaginary you
you know i do
i know it's true
i've been pretending to be you
i've been pretending to be you
i've been pretending to be you
pretending to be you
i've been pretending to be you
pretending to be you
i've been pretending to be you
i've been pretending to be you so sue me
i do what i want to
i'll walk a mile in your shoes
pretending to be you
i've been pretending to be you
