Great Pretender

Lyrics of Great Pretender by Dominic Fike

Oh, you′re a great pretender
The influencer who always spoke so kindly
You got your friends and your intricate web
But they don’t know how sorry
You are, to the naked eye, just a passerby, yeah
But I see the Carolina that you left behind, yeah-yeah

So put a shot glass up and go, “Whoo-whoo”
Girl, you′ll always have somethin’ I desire
When the clock stands up, it’s a new-ooh day
You′ll always have someone there beside ya
I′ll be your kickstand and your rider
I’ll be your right hand and your provider, baby
You need someone close that can give you space
I′ll be your NASA, but naturally, you could stay
We make the capital, California, USA, when you show up
Two Capricorns that can pay for they own stuff
I owned up, you owned up, yeah, yeah, oh

Oh, you’re a great pretender
The influencer who always spoke so kindly (ooh-ooh)
You got your friends and your intricate web (ooh-ooh)
But they don′t know how sorry
You are, to the naked eye, just a passerby, yeah (ooh-ooh)
But I see the Carolina that you left behind, yeah-yeah

Some more for me, one more for her too (whoa)
Pop off a shirt and hop under covers
Burn through the, uh, burn through the rubbers
Watchin’ shitty movies, skippin′ Mario Lopez
The menu wasn’t hittin’, so we ditched the room service
Went to the lobby
And then I took a pill and I came outta my body, yeah

So put a shot glass up and make eye contact to get lucky
Pull your iPhone out, take a picture when the food comin′
Make sure I′m not in it
‘Cause I′m not here, we on bidness, bidness

Oh, you’re a great pretender
The influencer who always spoke so kindly (ooh-ooh)
You got your friends and your intricate web (ooh-ooh)
But they don′t know how sorry
You are, to the naked eye, just a passerby, yeah (ooh-ooh)
But I see the Carolina that you left behind (ooh-ooh)

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
