Just Pretending
While I typically write country, this can go that way, or it sounds excellent more in the Bruno Mars sort of vein. It's about a guy who's in love with this friend's girl, so he fantasizes about her leaving him. It flows incredibly well rhythmically; I can't stress that enough. Just sing it sorta fast in a choppy, hard-emphasis-on-syllables fashion and it will come together so you get the gist of where I'm heading with it. I really enjoy it. It's something different for me.

(Chorus)
Well, maybe she's only just pretending
To love ya, just to get her
A reason, to get closer to me
And tonight, I might just let her
And hope you just forget her
'Cause lovin' on me is what she needs
V1
I think I might love her
That's the truth
Think of all the things I'd do
To her, playing all around in my mind
I find I can't stop thinking about her
It's hard to cope without her
And maybe she'll be mine in some time
But I see her right there with you
And I'm not sure what to do
Really thought she'd be with me in the end
I can give her everything
Be the man from out her dreams
Dawns on me I've just been playin' pretend
Still think maybe...
(Chorus)
She's only just pretending
To love ya, just to get her
A reason, to get closer to me
And tonight, I might just let her
And hope you just forget her
'Cause lovin' on me is what she needs
(x2, the 2nd starts again with "Well, maybe")
V2
Today I saw her
Come strollin' by
Pictured her walking beside me
She saw me looking at her and smiled
My whole life went flashing by
In the azure of her eyes
I was walking on cloud 9 for awhile
But what brought me down to Earth
Left me supine in the dirt
My buddy walked up and he gave her a kiss
It wiped out my fantasies
Stole away my wildest dreams
But defeat is something I won't admit
Hope maybe....
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
And when I see her
It hurts me, yes it does
It does
Oh, I'd love to be the man she loves
For once
I think about her and me
Indeed
But I know it's only make believe
Still hope that...
(Chorus: Starts now with "Maybe")
