My Pretending Days Are Over - The Dells

I should receive the Academy Award

For every girl I’ve fooled in this old town

I played my tricks on them

Told them they looked so sweet

When I knew all the time

Not a one did I wanna keep

My pretending days are over

Gonna leave acting to the stars in Hollywood

I used to masquerade from one girl to another

But since I met you, I can’t go any further

Just one kiss from your sweet lips

Brought me down down down from my ego trip

My pretending days are over

And I’m glad I found a girl just like you

My pretending days are over

Every man should have somebody sweet and true

You made me find myself

I don’t pretend no more

I stopped acting like someone

On the late late T.V. show

You, you helped me find myself

And just because of you

I don’t have to act like somebody else

My pretending days are over

Gonna leave acting to the stars in Hollywood
