Στοίχοι: Billie Holiday. I Can't Pretend.

I can't pretend
I'm sorry we're apart
I can't pretend
I just can't fool my heart

Though I may smile
My friends
All seem to realize
They smiles
That look in my eye

I can't pretend
I simply can't be gayer
For in the end
My tears give me away

Without you, dear
I live a lie
I can't defend
I love you
And I can't pretend

I can't pretend
I simply can't be gayer
For in the end
My tears give me away

Without you, dear
I live a lie
I can't defend
I love you
And I can't pretend
