Playing Pretend

It was such a shame
It was only a game
Two boys playing hide and seek
One was trouble; the other, meek

Let's play pretend
Only for a while
Let's play pretend
Put on a smile

Come out and play
Will you join me?
What do you say?
Please let it be

Two boys playing pretend
The troubled one was bound
The meek one was a friend
Seek and it shall be found

Let's play pretend
Only for a while
Let's play pretend
Put on a smile

Come out and play
You like what you see?
What do you say?
Please set me free
