Master Pretender
Never thought that I was weakAlways thought I could be pretty badStill get up on my own two feetI always believed that I was freeThat I had some sense of integrityThat I would rise above whatever tried to change me
But honey now, I won't waitFor something to bring me round and smile'Cause that only sticks for a whileThen I'm back againOh I'm a master pretender
I always knew that I was youngBut with my head held high and a sharp tongueI could fool almost anyoneI never expected to be struckBy the fatal hands of fortuneOr by sheer bad luck
But honey now, we won't changeAnd memories just rearrangeAnd fall into placeSo I'm back againOh I'm a master pretender
All the streets of New York CitySure look pretty from way up hereAnd I was heading homeJust felt more alone the further I'd go
I'd always thought that you'd be hereBut shit gets fucked upAnd people just disappear
So honey now, don't be madTime has told me can't be that bad and if it isWell I be goddamnedBut I'll stick aroundI'll be your master defenderYeah I'll stick aroundI'll be your master defender
