Only make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find 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 convention's P's and Q's
If we put our thoughts in practice
We can banish all regret
Imagining most anything we choose
We could make believe, I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find 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
