Pretenders

Walk right by, don’t say “Hi”
Just ignore me, then watch the tears I cry
Can’t you see, the game you play
Is making everyone just turn away?
Your cool affections and stylish flare
Have gotten old, but you don’t care
You just keep on going, like you have been
Hurting all the girls with your heart of tin
I hope a change comes over you
And soon you realize
Playing games is for little boys
Girls were never meant to be treated as toys
