[Chorus:]
  Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with
  Can we fake the life you know I should have had
  Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
  Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
    You seem to have an important part
  The lead role of my heart
  You played it well along time ago
  Until I started falling in love
  And then you changed your character
  And avoided all of your lines
  Now the man I love is gone now
  Can you play his part at this time
    [Chorus]
    Love is like a see saw it takes two in order for it to work
  I'm working hard, I'm playing my part but the scene still won't work
  And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong
  So I'll find someone who loves me
  And who can play your part for life
    I deserve a lot better than this
  And I'm tired of acting like it's okay for me to give you my love
  And receive nothing back in return
    [Chorus]
