AJR - Pretender (Acoustic) Lyrics

AJR Lyrics

"Pretender (Acoustic)"

I'm a good pretender
Won't you come see my show?
I've got lots of problems
Well, good thing nobody knows

Oh, I'm insecure, I'm insecure
I think I like what I'm supposed to
Like what I'm supposed to
I don't even mess with drugs
I do that 'cause you say it's dope to
You say it's dope to

I'm a good pretender
I'm not really cool
I'm a good pretender
'Cause I'm just like you
I do not belong here
You all clearly do
But I'm a good pretender
So I'm just like...

I'm a good pretender
I'm a good pretender

I'm a good pretender
All emotions in sync
Don't you think I'm clever
We laugh at all the same things

Oh, I'm insecure, I'm insecure
I think I like what I'm supposed to
Like what I'm supposed to
I don't even mess with drugs
I do that 'cause you say it's dope to
You say it is dope to

I'm a good pretender
I'm not really cool
I'm a good pretender
'Cause I'm just like you
I do not belong here
You all clearly do
But I'm a good pretender
So I'm just like...

I'm a good pretender
I'm a good pretender

I'm just like you, do you like me too?
Now I'm just like you
I'm a good pretender

Ryan from AJR said "We tried to write Pretender as this weird anthem for the insecure. My own social anxiety is something we've wanted to write about for a while, and it seemed like a very cool contrast to pair it with Steve Aoki's EDM sound and Lil Yachty's hip-hop sound."
