III. Pretend (Yours Tonight)
Written, produced and performed by Steven Kou
baby you a mystery
lower the curtains at the first scene
i stood and applaud when you touched me
you still play the part when youre in front of me
the city is hot, and you can break my heart
and when i get lost, i try to learn the part
you dim the lights, and you unfold the plot
embrace the scene in the back of the car
baby when u touch me
you aint gotta tell me twice
i'll be yours tonight baby you the one thing
keeping me up at night waiting by the line
baby when u touch me
you aint gotta tell me twice i'll be yours tonight
give me only one thing you ain’t gotta act this time in the dark moonlight
Baby you a mystery
Engulfed in the night
A street light beam shines into the car
You gaze at me, “I got no where to go, my pockets empty”
You travel down to California
Wander around with your entourage
The plot that we have is hard to summarize
But you paint the scene and it’s not a mirage
