We could make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you, couldn't I, couldn't we

Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss – or two or three
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth – I do

People see us everywhere
They think you really care
But myself I can't deceive
I know it's only make believe

My one and only prayer
Is that some day you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true
My one and only you

No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My only prayer will be
Someday you'll care for me
But it's only make believe
