[Refrain 1]
That is what I had intended
Pretending to be drunk
A little bit change in character
I'm pretending to be drunk
[Verse 1]
You think I am weak and feeble
You think I'm a bore
When you drag me to a party
Soon I'm out the door
Next time I'll portray a suave sophisticated hunk
[Refrain 2]
That is what I had intended
Pretending to be drunk
[Refrain 3]
That is what I had intended
Pretending to be drunk
A bit of I have lived and loved
I'm pretending to be drunk
[Verse 2]
You say I could use some swagger
You say toughen up
I am rigid as a board
You tell me loosen up
I'm so loose and I'm so tough that I can barely move
[Refrain 2]
That is what I had intended
Pretending to be drunk
[Interlude]
[Refrain 4]
You notice a transformation
Pretending to be drunk
I've lost all my inhibitions
Pretending to be drunk
[Verse 3]
You can take me to the soirée and be proud of me
Everyone will be impressed
I'll pass out on your knee
And now I am so continental
They think that it's nice
Think I'll pretend to be drunk for the rest of my life
[Refrain 2]
Well that is what I had intended
Pretending to be drunk
