I pretend that I want to escape so that you won't let me
I'm on the end of your line, you could reel me in 'cause I'm caught
I have to make out I want to get away
'Cause if you knew the score you'd no longer stay
I pretend to escape just to keep hold of you
Hey girl, you look divine
But I gotta' keep my all chat up lines to myself
That's what I've gotta' do
It's like hide and seek every day
I keep my feelings buried away
The way I feel about you
I pretend that I want to escape so that you won't let me
I'm on the end of your line, you could reel me in 'cause I'm caught
I have to work hard to look the other way
If you knew my secret you'd be gone in a day
I pretend to escape just to keep hold of you
I know I'm being weak propagating a lie
I'm having second thoughts all of the time
But I've come this far
I wanna' get through to you
Am I fooling myself that you will change your ways?
Played this game for too many days now
Like a willing addict
I'm stuck on you
I pretend that I want to escape so that you won't let me
I'm on the end of your line, you could reel me in 'cause I'm caught
I have to profess to being cool on you
If the cat got out the bag, you'd be gone real soon
I pretend to escape just to keep hold of you
Hold the line
Bide your time
Maybe the tide will turn real soon
Play the game
Don't show your hand
Until she wants to hold it too
I pretend that I want to escape, so that you won't let me
I'm on the end of your line, you could reel me in 'cause I'm caught
I have to make out I want to get away
'Cause if you knew the score you'd no longer stay
I pretend to escape just to keep hold of you
I pretend that I want to escape so that you won't let me
I'm on the end of your line, you could reel me in 'cause I'm caught
I have to make out I want to get away
'Cause if you knew the score you'd no longer stay
I pretend to escape just to keep hold of you
Just to keep hold of you
Just to keep hold of you
Just to keep hold of you
