Master Pretender Lyrics

Never thought that I was weak
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad
Still get up on my own two feet
I always believed that I was free
That I had some sense of integrity
That would rise above whatever tried to change me

But honey now I won't wait
For something to bring me 'round and smile
'Cause that only sticks for a while
Then I'm back again
Oh I'm a master pretender

I always knew that I was young
But with a head held high
And a sharp tongue I could fool most anyone
I never expected to be struck
But the fatal hands of fortune
Or by sheer bad luck

But honey now we won't change
And memories just rearrange
And fall into place
So I'm back in
Oh I'm a master pretender

Oh the streets of New York city
Sure look pretty from way up here
And I was headed home
Just felt more alone the further I'd gone

I always thought that you'd be here
But shit gets fucked up
People just disappear

So honey now don't be mad
Time has told me it can't be that bad
And if it is, well I'll be god damned
But I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender
Yeah I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender

Correct Lyrics:

Never thought that I was weak Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad, still get up on my own two feet.

I always believed that I was free That I had some sense of integrity that would rise above whatever tried to change me.

But honey, now I won't wait for something to bring me round and smile. 'Cause sad only sticks for a while. Then I'm back again.

Oh, I'm a master pretender

I always knew that I was young, but with a head held high, and a sharp tongue I could fool almost anyone. I never expected to be struck by the fatal hands of fortune,or by sheer bad luck.

Honey no, we won't change! And memories just rearrange, and fall into place. So I'm back again

Oh, I'm a master pretender

Oh, the streets of New York City sure look pretty from way up here! And I was headed home, just felt more alone the further I'd go.

I always thought that you'd be here But shit gets fucked up and people just disappear.

So honey, now, don't be mad Thomas told me it can't be that bad! And if it is, well I'll be goddamned! But I'll stick around.

I'll be your master defender Yeah, I'll stick around I'll be your master defender
