Lyrics Play Your Part (Leading Role Club Mix) - Deborah Cox

Can you pretend?
Can you pretend?
Can you pretend?
Can you pretend?
Can you pretend?
Can you pretend?
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with
Can we fake the life, you know I should have had
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone else?
You seem to have an important part
The lead role of my heart
You played it well a long time ago
Until I started falling in love
And then you changed you character
And avoided all of your lines
Now the man I love is gone
Now can you play his part at this time
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with
Can we fake the life, you know I should have had
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone else?
Can you pretend?
Love is like a see saw
It takes two in order for it to work
I'm working hard, I'm playing my part
But the scene still won't work
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with
Can we fake the life, you know I should have had
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone else?
And rehearsals are long
Because your timing is all wrong
So I'll find someone who loves me
And who can play your part for life
I deserve a lot better than this
And I'm tired of acting like
It's okay for me to give you my love
Receive nothing back in return
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with
Can we fake the life, you know I should have had
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone else?
Mr. Lonely, look who's lonely now
You [Incomprehensible], never care
