"Great Pretender" lyrics

"Great Pretender"

Oh, you're a great pretender
The influencer who always spoke so kindly
You got your friends and your intricate web
But they don't know how sorry
You are to the naked eye, just a passerby
Yeah
But I see the Carolina that you left behind

So put a shot glass up and go, "Woo-ooh!"
Girl, you'll always have something I desire
When the clock stands up, it's a new-ooh day
You'll always have someone there beside ya
I'll be your kick stand and your rider
I'll be your right hand and your provider, baby
You need someone close that can give you space
I'll be yo' NASA but naturally, you could stay
We make the capitol California, USA, when you show up
Two Capricorns that could pay for they own stuff
I owned up, you owned up
Yeah-yeah, ooh

Oh, you're a great pretender
The influencer who always spoke so kindly
You got your friends and your intricate web
But they don't know how sorry
You are to the naked eye, just a passerby
Yeah
But I see the Carolina that you left behind
Yeah

One more for me, one more for her too
Pop off a shirt and hop under covers
Burn through the—, uh, burn though the rubbers
Watching shitty movies, skipping Mario Lopez
The menu wasn't hittin' so we ditched the room service
And went to the lobby
And then I took a pill and I came out of my body
Yeah
So put a shot glass up and make eye contact to get lucky
Pull your iPhone out, take a picture when the food comin'
Make sure I'm not in it 'cause I'm not here, we on business

Oh, you're a great pretender
The influencer who always spoke so kindly
You got your friends and your intricate web
But they don't know how sorry
You are to the naked eye, just a passerby
Yeah
But I see the Carolina that you left behind

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
