Billie Holiday — I Cant Pretend

I can't pretend I'm sorry we're apart I can't pretend I just can't fool my heart Though I miss mine My friends all seem to realize They surmise That look in my eyes I can't pretend I simply can't be gayer For in the end My tears give me away Without you, dear, I live a lie I can't defend I love you And I can't pretend I can't pretend I simply can't be gayer For in the end My tears give me away Without you, dear, I live a lie I can't defend I love you And I can't pretend
