It's no use pretending That I understand The hide and seek we play with facts It changes our demand Tilt my hat at the sun And the shadows they burn dark Light me and I'll burn for you And the love song never stops I like the look in your eyes When you talk that certain way I love the day in the life When you know that lover's way Minding my own business When you came along The temperature's running hot The fever was so strong Tilt my hat at the sun And the shadows they burn dark Light me and I'll burn for you And the love song never stops Don't stop it It's always an adventure The fantasies we make a fact Your the secret I desire Well, I can't keep that to myself When we're not together It doesn't feel so bad We could be so far apart But our love's not sad Yeah It's no use pretending That I understand The hide and seek we play with facts It changes our demand Tilt my hat at the sun And the shadows they burn dark Light me and I'll burn for you And the love song never stops Don't stop it
