[Verse 1]
I don’t care if you’re hard to know
I don’t mind if you come and go
You hang around and get your thrills
Taking all of your fancy pills
[Hook]
You’re the great pretender
A hero of your gender
[Verse 2]
Always something new to me
A changing personality
I like to watch your picture show
When you do your fake Monroe
[Hook]
You’re the great pretender
A hero of your gender
[Chorus]
Time after time
You pretend, but you don’t listen
Time after time
You arrive another person
[Verse 3]
You look so chic in the clothes you wear
Always teasing your colored hair
I don’t care if you’re hard to know
You’re starring in my video
[Hook]
You’re the great pretender
A hero of your gender
[Chorus]
Time after time
You pretend, but you don’t listen
Time after time
You arrive another person
Time after time
You pretend, but you don’t listen
Time after time
You arrive another person
[Hook]
You’re the great pretender
A hero of your gender
[Chorus]
Time after time
You pretend, but you don’t listen
Time after time
You arrive another person
Time after time
You pretend, but you don’t listen, no
Time after time
You arrive another person
Time after time
You pretend, but you don’t listen
Time after time
You arrive another person
[Outro]
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time, after time
Time after time, after time
Time after time, after time, after time
Time after time, after time, after time
