Lyrics

make believe

[Chorus]

Talking to yourself, you make believe

Filling up a void eight days a week

Wanna get to know you

Wanna get to know you

[Verse 1]

At the diner

You looked finer than a set of china that my mama don't use

I looked helpless, you looked selfish

But you liked Elvis so I thought you were cool

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I like honesty and self-respect

But you spell rent "P-A-R-E-N-T-S"

[Chorus]

Talking to yourself, you make believe

Filling up a void eight days a week

Wanna get to know you

Wanna get to know you

We could make some plans, tell me you're free

Aren't you getting tired of woe is me

Trying to get to know you

Trying to get to know you

[Verse 2]

Always talking, sort of flirting

We make plans but you never come through

You say you're busy, but you miss me

I'll be here waiting around like a fool

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I've got patience and persistence

But you spell love "F-R-I-E-N-D-S"

[Chorus]

Talking to yourself, you make believe

Filling up a void eight days a week

Wanna get to know you

Wanna get to know you

We could make some plans, tell me you're free

Aren't you getting tired of woe is me

Trying to get to know you

Trying to get to know you

[Bridge]

Girl, you know I'd give the world to you

But you can't even open up to me

Played my part on your TV screen

Your made up movie, make believe

All I wanted was to see what happens

And you're still

[Chorus]

Talking to yourself, you make believe

Filling up a void eight days a week

Wanna get to know you

Wanna get to know you

We could make some plans, tell me you're free

Aren't you getting tired of woe is me

Trying to get to know you

Trying to get to know you
