lyrics

SHIRLEY TEMPLE

I need a pretend drink
Why don't you try a Shirley Temple?
I need a pretend man
Why don't you try a Manhattan?
A Shirley Temple is a little girl's drink
Manhattan just another name for a hat rack
Why don't we all stop pretending that we're not pretending.

I wish the world was spinnin' slower
Maybe I'd see things a little better
Maybe I'd stop drinking
And I'd stop pretending
That you're ever coming back
That our love's not a thing of the past
And we're past pretending.

Chorus: Better be here than be square
Better try and be a better man
Than someone who doesn't care
You have your Shirley Temple
I'll sit at the bar while you drink your pretend drink
And I'll pretend that you really care.

I need a pretend drink
Why don't you try a Shirley Temple?
I need a pretend man
Why don't you try a Manhattan?
A Shirley Temple is a little girl's drink
Manhattan just another name for a hat rack
Why don't we all stop pretending
That we're not pretending.

Chorus: Better be here than be square
Better try and be a better man
Than someone who doesn't care
You have your Shirley Temple
I'll sit at the bar while you drink your pretend drink
And I'll pretend that you really care.
