Please take the time to talk to me
And look into my eyes,
Then you’ll see my sincerity.
I have no hidden lies.
I’d like to play a game with you
Which children often play.
Just one quick round of make-believe,
And you can turn away.
I’ll make-believe that you loved me
Once in another life,
And you can make-believe that you
Had never been his wife.
