Lyrics
Let’s pretend we’re not married tonight
Let’s go out and let’s don’t even fight
We’ll wear our left-handed rings on the right
We’ll pretend we’re not married tonight
I’ll pretend that your old jokes are new
We’ll act crazy like we used to do
We’ll stay out till the bright morning light
Let’s pretend we’re not married tonight
Let’s leave all of our troubles behind
And let’s toast to yesterday’s wine
Let’s stay out until it’s comin’ daylight
Let’s pretend we’re not married tonight
Let’s pretend we’re not married tonight
Let’s go out and let’s don’t even fight
Wear our left-handed rings on the right
We’ll pretend we’re not married tonight
Let’s pretend we’re not married tonight
Let’s go out and let’s don’t even fight
Wear our left-handed rings on the right
We’ll pretend we’re not married tonight
