Master Pretender lyrics
Master Pretender lyrics
Never thought that I was weak
Always thought I could be pretty bad
Still get up on my own two feet
I always believed that I was free
That I had some sense of integrity
That I would rise above whatever tried to change me
But honey now, I won't wait
For something to bring me round and smile
'Cause that only sticks for a while
Then I'm back again
Oh I'm a master pretender
I always knew that I was young
But with my head held high and a sharp tongue
I could fool almost anyone
I never expected to be struck
By the fatal hands of fortune
Or by sheer bad luck
But honey now, we won't change
And memories just rearrange
And fall into place
So I'm back again
Oh I'm a master pretender
All the streets of New York City
Sure look pretty from way up here
And I was heading home
Just felt more alone the further I'd go
I'd always thought that you'd be here
But shit gets fucked up
And people just disappear
So honey now, don't be mad
Time has told me can't be that bad and if it is
Well I be goddamned
But I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender
Yeah I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender
