Pretend


"Pretend" By Lynisha Arceus I lay on his chest He holds me throughout the night Husband and wife you can say But empty ring fingers We still haven't set the date I cook and clean for him He buys me things No wedding bells ringing Just alarm clocks to wake us up And remind us that this is just a fling He belongs to someone else And So do I But every night we play pretend I act as his wife And he acts as my husband In matrimony On that queen size mattress Moaning But when the clock ticks That time hits When we come to the last line in the strip The last kiss I wish he could be mine But he belongs to another chick I got to keep that in mind And say my good byes Until next time Cause in my world of pretend He will be all mine aging.
