I never thought that I was weak
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad
Still get up on my own two feetI always believed that I was free
That I had some sense of integrity
That would rise above whatever tried to change meBut honey, now, I won't wait
For something to bring me round and smile
Cause that only sticks for a while
Then I'm back again
Oh, I'm a master pretender
I always knew that I was young
But with a head held high and a sharp tongue
I could fool most anyoneI never expected to be struck
By the fatal hands of fortune or by
Sheer bad luckBut honey, now, we won't change
And memories just rearrange
And fall is a ways
So I'm back again
Oh, I'm a master pretenderOh, the streets of New York City
Sure look pretty from way up here
And I was headed home, just felt more alone the further I goI always thought you'd be here
But shit gets fucked up and
People just disappear
So honey, now, don't be mad
Time has told me it can't be that bad
And if it is, well, I'll be goddamned
But I'll stick around
I'll be your master defenderYeah, I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender
