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
