Pretending to be other people helped bring me out of my shell and shed my inhibitions.

I’m Pretending

I’m pretending nothing happened,
that we are still together.
I’m pretending you never
went away with someone new.
I’m pretending we are still a couple,
that you are still nearby.
I’m pretending,
pretending
I am still with you.

I’m pretending that our love
still shines brightly.
I’m pretending that you still care
and lying to myself each day.
I’m pretending that you just stepped out
and that you are not far away.
I’m pretending,
pretending
I am still with you.

I’m pretending it always summer
and that winter never comes.
I’m pretending life is as it was
and I’m forever with you.
I’m pretending you are with me
and not in the arms of someone new.
I’m pretending that I am smiling
and that I’m not feeling blue.
I’m pretending,
pretending
I am still with you.

Pretending

(by jerry lynn williams)
How many times must we tell the tale?
How many times must we fall?
Living in lost memory
You just recalled
Working on the sound of the band
Trying to get the music right
Two go out working
Three stay home at night
Thats when she said she was pretending
Like she knew the plan
Thats when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand
Pretending, pretending
Pretending, pretending
Satisfied but lost in love
Situations change
Youre never who you used to think you are
How strange
Chorus
I get lost in alibis
Sadness cant prevail
Everybody knows strong love
Cant fail
Dont be pretending about how you feel
Dont be pretending that your love is real
Dont be pretending about how you feel
Dont be pretending that your love is real
Pretending, pretending
Pretending, pretending

I mean, it didn't matter to me that there were people, it didn't matter that I was shy Just the sound was so captivating that it helped me to get rid of those inhibitions.

Ecstasy

You live in a world of fantasy
You live in a web of deceit
You want it all including me
You like it all to be neat
I come to you when shadows fall
I leave as the dawn arrives
Hide the truth to deceive them all
How my good intention lies
Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy
Secret meetings that we hide
Deeds of iniquity
The price of foolish pride
The cost of immorality
And we hide the truth to deceive them all
And the pain of what will never be
Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy

Secret Garden

Shell let you in her house
If you come knockin late at night
Shell let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
Shell let you deep inside
But theres a secret garden she hides
Shell let you in her car
To go drivin round
Shell let you into the parts of herself
Thatll bring you down
Shell let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, dont think twice
Youve gone a million miles
How fard you get
To that place where you cant remember
And you cant forget
Shell lead you down a path
Therell be tenderness in the air
Shell let you come just far enough
So you know shes really there
Shell look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
Shes got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away

The Ring

Words and music by bob seger
By the light of the moon
To a 50s tune
He pledged his love to her
A girl so rare
A girl so fair
The girl for him for sure
He could see himself getting up every mornin
For the rest of his life
Just to look in those eyes so blue
It was all he ever wanted to do
She was all hed ever need to see him through
They were still in their teens
When he gave her the ring
They were married late one may
And they moved into a little house
On the far end of town
Out by the big highway
And all through the days
And all through the nights
The cars and trucks rolled on by
And he slept through it all just fine
Every night he slept just fine
Sometimes shed stare at the stars out the window
Sometimes shed walk 'neath the moon
Sometimes shed sit there just watching him sleeping
Hoping the dawn would come soon
Shed done well in school
Shed followed the rules
And shed always stood out from the rest
Shed go off to college
And work her way through
Then move to some city out west
She had it all planned
Shed have her career
Shed have all of the things that shed always lacked
Shed wake up one morning all packed
And leave here and never look back
Most of her friends thought it soon would be over
Not many thought it would last
Most seemed to think they were all wrong for each other
And soon it would pass - soon it would pass
Now twenty years have gone
And her kids have moved on
And shes still on the far end of town
Her youngest ­ shes livin somewhere in l.a.
And her oldest he works on a nearby farm
Her husband comes home
And they talk over supper
Hes usually the first to turn in
Another day comes to an end
Another day just ends
And sometimes in the wee hours when the traffic dies down
Shell hear the sound of some bird on the wing
And shell look out the window and shell look at his picture
But not at the ring not at the ring
She never looks at the ring

Squealer

She said shed never been
Never been touched before
She said shed never been
This far before
She said shed never liked
To be excited
She said shed always had
Had to fight it (and she never won)
She said shed never been
Never been balled before
N I dont think
Shell ever ball no more (fixed er good)
Hey squealer - when I held her hand
Squealer - made her understand
Squealer - when I kissed her lips
Squealer - and sucked her finger tips
Squealer - she started getting hot
Squealer - made it hard to stop
Squealer - it got too much
Squealer - I think Ive got the magic touch

I Will Remain

you can place
dead flowers
on my grave
when i'm gone...

bring in a preacher,
sing a couple old hymns...
if it makes you feel better....

but my testament,
and my only word,
lies in the things i've done,

the things i've given,
the people i've either
hurt or helped....

the things i've fought for,
win or lose....
everything else, just wrappings

on an old turtle's shell....
i wont live there anymore....
but in everything that moves

and groans, that shakes
and tremors, that breaks and falls...
in every breath of life....

i will remain!

The Old Songs

Candles burning
Glasses are chilled and soon
Shell be by
Hope and pray
Shell say that shes willing to give us
Another try
And if all those plans Ive made
Dont melt the ladys heart
Ill put on the old 45s
And maybe the old songs
Will bring back the old times
Maybe the old lines will sound new
Maybe shell lay her head on my shoulder
Maybe old feelings will come through
Maybe well start to cry
And wonder why
We ever walked away
Maybe the old songs
Will bring back the old times
And make her want to stay
Its been too long since ive
Seen her face light up
When I come home
Its been too many
Hours Ive wasted staring
At the phone
Sweet old songs Im counting on you
To bring her back to me
Im tired of listening alone
Chorus

Im sick and tired(written on August 16,2008)

Im sick of pretending im happy
Im tired of pretending i care
all this pain ive been put through
Is too much for me to bare

Im sick of pretending i love life
im tired of living this lie
fed up with trying to hide my hurt
I just want to sit down and cry

Im sick of pretending i hate you
Imtired of pretending to know
The reasons why you left me
Oh why did you have to go

Im sick of trying
Im tired of crying
Yeah im smiling
But inside im dying

Like a Tornado

What am I going to accomplish
that will make people think
that I was a good person
How can I justify this
I would like to be remembered as
a good person
but sometimes that is impossible
Sometimes you have hurt more people
than you have helped
I believe that I have helped more people
but sometimes people take things
the wrong way
They can often twist your words like a tornado
which essentially has the same effect
It is destructive and all together
unneeded
But I can't change the way people think
I can only except it

It's a Puzzle

My friend
Is not my friend any more
She has secrets from me
And goes about with Tracy Hacket

I would get her back,
Only do not want to say so.
So I pretend
To have secrets from her
And go about with Alice Banks

But what bothers me is,
Maybe she is pretending
And would like me back
Only does not want to say so.

In which case
Maybe it bothers her
That I am pretending.
But if we are both pretending,
Then really we are friends
And do not know it.

On the other hand,
How can we be friends
And have secrets from each other
And go about with other people?

My friend
Is not my friend any more,
Unless she is pretending.
I cannot think what to do.
It is a puzzle.

Nothing to plead

All inhibitions to shed and nothing to plead
Message is clear and between lines to read
Hope and despair yet to rule the scene
Where is path of attainment which is not seen?

The sun is strength and only hope
Power of source and energy is sought
Guiding as beacon to reach at the end
All ways open to make final amend

To find a light must have a vision
Direct rapport with very good transition
From one state of idleness to alertness
Laziness to shed and attain the aptness

Pretending

Love is a flame that cant be tamed
And though we are its willing prey, my darling
We are not the ones to blame
Trust is a word all lovers know
The glorious art of staining souls, my darling
We are not the ones to blame
The more we have the more we want
And the more it hurts our hearts, my baby
It always ends up in tears
So keep on pretending
Our heaven is worth the waiting
Keep on pretending, its alright
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
Its alright
When doubts arise the game begins
The one we will never win, my baby
It always ends up in tears
So keep on pretending
Our heaven is worth the waiting
Keep on pretending, its alright
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
Its alright
Come on...
So keep on pretending
Our heaven is worth the waiting
Keep on pretending, its alright
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
Its alright
Love is a flame that cant be tamed
And though we are its willing prey, my darling
We are not the ones to blame

Linda Goes To Mars

I just found out yesterday that linda goes to mars
Every time I sit and look at pictures of used cars
Shell turn on her radio and sit down in her chair
And look at me across the room, as if I wasnt there
Chorus:
Oh my stars! my lindas gone to mars
Well I wish she wouldnt leave me here alone
Oh my stars! my lindas gone to mars
Well, I wonder if shed bring me something home.
Something, somewhere, somehow took my linda by the hand
And secretly decoded our sacred wedding band
For when the moon shines down up on our happy, humble home
Her inner space gets tortured by some outer space unknown.
Repeat chorus:
Now I aint seen no saucers cept the ones upon the shelf
And if I ever seen one Id keep it to myself
For if theres life out there somewhere beyond this life on earth
Then linda must have gone out there and got her moneys worth.
Repeat chorus:
Yeah, I wonder if shed bring me something home.

Believe In Me

Theyll be a time when everyone is left alone,
And Ill have mine
There is no doubt when everyone has worn me out and gone
When everybodys had their fill, shell be waiting,
Shes waiting still
And though she doesnt know I know,
I know she wouldnt mind
Cause having someone believe in me, is all I need to know
And standing all alone, is not the way I want to go
And if I get to be a star, or maybe no where near that far
I know that either way it doesnt matter much to her
And if Im on my dying bed and suddenly my life is bled away from me,
I know shell shed a tear because she cares
Cause having someone believe in me, is all I need to know
And standing all alone, is not the way I want to go
And if I get to be a star, or maybe no where near that far
I know that either way it doesnt matter much to her
And if Im on my dying bed and suddenly my life is bled away from me,
I know shell shed a tear because she cares
Cause having someone believe in me, is all I need to know
And standing all alone, is not the way I want to go

She's A Star

By: Barry Manilow, Enoch Anderson
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It really doesnt matter if she suffered all she claims.
You know she started somewhere and she found her way to fame.
And feeding on the lonely crowd, she finally belongs.
A Goddess by the microphone she sings her troubled songs.
Shes a star
No on can tell her anymore
(She did it)
Shell ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said shed do it
Shes a star
(she did it)
Theyre hangin on her music as it fills the concert hall
And shes teasin them with moments, when you think shell give it all
But shes holdin back the total, cause that s how she works the spell
Yeah, she likes to leave em hungry, yeah she loves to hear em yell!
Shes a star
No on can tell her anymore
(She did it)
Shell ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said shed do it
Shes a star
(she did it)
And finally, the wild applause that cleans her soul and saves
Shes left with no companions only enemies and slaves.
Shes scared again the show was slow, she felt it fall behind
Tomorrow nights already raising riot in her mind.
Shes a star
No on can tell her anymore
(She did it)
Shell ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said shed do it
Shes a star
(she did it)

Who Knew This?

You helped build up my life.
To see dawn,
From tops of mountains.
To adopt without doubt...
What is mine and belongs.

My life!
And all there is about it.

You helped build up my life.
Yes.
And to see dawn.
To fly high like an Eagle!
With a might ignited within me so strong.

Who knew this?
That you would be allowed to bring out the best in me,
To see.
Who knew this?
Not me!
That you would bring out my best.

Who knew this?
That you would be allowed to bring out the best in me,
To see.
Who knew this?

That you would bring out my best.

You helped build up my life.

And all there is about it.
To fly high like an Eagle!
With a might ignited within me so strong.

That you would bring out my best.

From tops of mountains.
To adopt without doubt...
What is mine and belongs.
With a might ignited within me so strong.

Who knew this?
Not me!
That you would bring out my best.
That you would and could,
Separate me from the rest!

Who knew this?

Certain It Was Shown

Hadn't you known
This is who I am?
I'm certain it was shown.
And who have you been?
It looks as if you are the one,
Who has been pretending.
But that's okay!
That has long been displayed.
Your eyes are filled with criticism.
And that has helped my movements
Flow in ways I can not say!
