Call It Pretending

The Golliwogs

Compositor: Doug Clifford / John Fogerty / Stu Cook / Tom Fogerty

What would you have me do?
Just turn and walk out on you
And leave you standing there
Pretending I don't care
When you know as well as I
That would be nowhere.

Shouldn't I be with you?
Shouldn't I be with you?

What would you have me say
After I walk away?
Would it be the end
Or just a second wind?
For the good old song
That we use to call pretending.

Shouldn't I be with you?
Shouldn't I be with you?

It's not the first time
That you had me turn away.
I don't know it won't be the last time
But you got to say you got to.

Should we make a brand new start
Or are you gonna break my heart?
And leave me standing there
Pretending I don't care
When you know as well as I
That would get us nowhere.

Shouldn't I be with you?
