We could make believe I love you Only make believe that you love me Others find peace of mind in pretending Couldn't you, couldn't I, couldn't we Make believe our lips are blending In a phantom kiss – or two or three Might as well make believe I love you For to tell the truth – I do People see us everywhere They think you really care But myself I can't deceive I know it's only make believe My one and only prayer Is that some day you'll care My hopes, my dreams come true My one and only you No one will ever know How much I love you so My only prayer will be Someday you'll care for me But it's only make believe
