Only make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Ah, there's fine peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you, couldn't I, couldn't we?
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss or two or three
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth I do
The game of just supposing is the sweetest game I know
Our dreams are more romantic than the world we see
And if the things we dream about don't happen to be so
That's just an unimportant technicality
Though the cold and brutal fact is you and I have never met
We need not mind conventions, p's and q's
If we our thoughts in practise we can banish our regrets
Imagining most anything we choose
We could make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Ah, there's fine peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you, couldn't I, couldn't we?
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss or two or three
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth I do
