He's a Pretender Lyrics
He appears to be straight from heaven.
But everybody says there's a devil in those angel eyes.
They try me on for size.
He opens his mouth and there's magic,
A beautiful smile and looks that goes on for days.
But everybody says, they say
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight.
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight.
Might as well be mine.
Pretender, take mine.
Well, I might be crazy.
But out on the floor,
This guy's moving like he wants to do more than dance.
I think I'll take a chance.
He moves in close for a slow one.
And I can't believe what he's whispering in my ear.
His words were so sincere.
Ooh, how they can say
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight. (He's just a pretender.)
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight.
Might as well be mine.
Pretender, take mine.
He's just a pretender.
Just a pretender.
He's just a pretender.
My heart was made for the loving, boy,
Not for breaking.
So if you think you're gonna hurt me, boy,
You're mistaken.
I turn around and my angel was gone.
I couldn't believe
He would leave my love high and dry.
Tell me the reason why.
Please tell me.
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight. (He's just a pretender.)
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight. (Just a pretender.)
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight. (He's just a pretender.)
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
He's out to take my heart tonight, oh, oh. (Just a pretender.)
He's just a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
He's out to take your heart,
Out to take your heart. (He's just a pretender.)
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
He's out to take your heart tonight.
But everybody says there's a devil in those angel eyes.
They try me on for size.
He opens his mouth and there's magic,
A beautiful smile and looks that goes on for days.
But everybody says, they say
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight.
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight.
Might as well be mine.
Pretender, take mine.
But out on the floor,
This guy's moving like he wants to do more than dance.
I think I'll take a chance.
He moves in close for a slow one.
And I can't believe what he's whispering in my ear.
His words were so sincere.
Ooh, how they can say
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight. (He's just a pretender.)
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight.
Might as well be mine.
Pretender, take mine.
Just a pretender.
He's just a pretender.
Not for breaking.
So if you think you're gonna hurt me, boy,
You're mistaken.
I couldn't believe

Tell me the reason why.
Please tell me.
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight. (He's just a pretender.)
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight. (Just a pretender.)
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
Out to take your heart tonight. (He's just a pretender.)
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
He's out to take my heart tonight, oh, oh. (Just a pretender.)
He's just a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
He's out to take your heart,
Out to take your heart. (He's just a pretender.)
He's a pretender,
Doesn't mean a word of it.
He's out to take your heart tonight.
