A modern spin on a classic instrumental produced by my parents' band years before I was born, “No Good Pretending” acknowledges the fruitless nature of love games and the need for openness to develop a healthy relationship.
Mat4yo: [0:03]
I’ve seen a couple couples
I’ve seen a pair of pairs
When people love each other
I’d say that all is fair
But there is warfare in the air and we're scared
Throwing darts at the globe just to go anywhere
But we can't
Make no mistake
Behind every hand that we hold is a poker face
And now I can’t read your mind but I know the stakes
I wanna gamble but I’m so afraid to fold my ace, so we wait
Do we know our fate
And ignore it?
Or do we know it’s up to us and adore it?
We’re looking for something that's sure and euphoric
Not something short and distorted
GREG:
We could fade like the passing time
KIM:
Or we could age nice like a glass of wine
MAT:
‘cause baby we’d be either soulmates or passersby
So don’t ever act like sad is fine
You have to be satisfied
Don’t ask me why
‘cause I need you now
I need you more than ever
I need you like a drooping flower needs some warmer weather
I need you like you need me
‘cause that weight up on my shoulder’s like a feather when we hold it together
We are a team
We scrimmage more than we need
But even champions don’t need to sleep
They practice in their dreams
So get ready for the pitch let me strap you in your seat
‘cause every time I say the words, this is what I really mean
KIM & GREG ADONIS
Never could go on without your loving
Never could go on without your loving, lover
Never could go on without your loving
Never could go on without your loving, lover
If I need you now
I need you more than ever
But I seem to find
You need me even better
But you always hide
How you feel
So let me tell you now
It’s no good pretending anymore
I wanna spend my whole life loving you
It doesn’t matter if its right or wrong
I’m gonna spend my whole life loving you
MAT4YO:
What I was
Is nothing but I have a reason to be breathing
Just because
You gave me what I needed now I can believe in it
For the first time
And what’s yours is mine and
I had a feeling it was crazy when I said
I always had a feeling for the lady in red
