Just Pretending

歌詞

Nice shirt, and khaki chinos Dessert and cappuccinos SUV, he looks good in it Driving past his credit limit She's climbing that Stairmaster Up to Happy Ever After Though she never seems to get there She can't stop No she can't stop Why do we try so hard? Life's not some greeting card Models and movie stars They're just pretending They're just pretending Family full of achievers Beat the Jones and be the Cleavers Give the lawn a manicure No rough edges, that's for sure Sunday the whole congregation Doesn't seem to need salvation Everybody's just terrific All the time All the time Why do we try so hard? Life's not some greeting card Models and movie stars They're just pretending They're just pretending Everybody's under pressure Got to get our acts together Living out these scripted roles Tidy and predictable What if we just all agreed To wear our hearts on wrinkled sleeves And live the mess and mystery Of a real life Live real life Why do we try so hard? Life's not some greeting card If we're not who we are We're just pretending Why do we try so hard? Life's not some greeting card Models and all those movie stars They're just pretending They're just pretending
