Lyrics

Let's pretend we're being grown up
Let's pretend we're mum and dad
I would try on mummy's make up
Mummy's shoes and mummy's bag
Let's pretend is very easy
Let's pretend I'm them not me
I look better bright breezy
I'll be what they want to see
Carol, I love you
Why won't the real you do?
If I can love you
Others will love you too
Sometimes you know I wonder whether
If I can hold it all together
If my presentation's good they will never see
All the parts that can't be loved in me
They see a woman calm, collected
If they saw me, I'd be rejected
If I ever let the mask of perfection drop
I'd be as naked and my heart would stop
Let's pretend we've got it sorted
Let's pretend a perfect life
Misery and trouble thwarted
Happy, loving, man and wife
Let's pretend is so much better
Let's pretend we shine and glow
Model couple, matching sweater
Letting nothing ugly show
Carol, it's wearing
Driving my head round the bend
My heart's despairing
Of making this show for our friends
Sometimes you know I wonder whether
If we can hold it all together
If we smile and we laugh they will never know
If you try as hard as me the cracks won't show
They all think we have the perfect marriage
So in love we're going at it like rabbits
Couldn't handle the shame if they ever knew
It's such a relief that they haven't a clue
... about me and you
