"Make Believe You Don't Know Me" lyrics

Richard Thompson Lyrics

"Make Believe You Don't Know Me"

We were a secret, you and I
Maybe better left that way
There's questions that have no answers
After all, what could we say?

Make Believe You Don't Know Me
And I'll make believe I don't know you
Make Believe You Don't Know Me
And I'll make believe I don't know you

I thought I'd learned to lose the pain
Seeing you again I've found it
Tell me what you want me to do
Bury it deep, or dance around it?

You know that sister-brother kiss
Would just send me reeling
There's too much love tied up in this
To give in to the feeling
