[Verse 1]
Am
Uh-oh, you're a honey and you're funny;
C G
all the girls, they never leave you alone
Am
Uh-oh, say you only wanna see me,
C G
so why you looking down at your phone?
Am Fmaj7/C
when he only sends confessions in a text message;
C G Am
his phone just rings along to stay in touch with his exes
Uh-oh, thought you had it all together,
C G
well I hate to have to say, I was wrong.
[Chorus]
Am
Pretend you're a real man,
Fmaj7/C
Can you do that?
C G
Can you leave the world behind and prove that:
Am
You are a real man
Fmaj7/C
And you love me
C G
More than any other girl above me?
Am Fmaj7/C C G
You will be mine 'till your ego has died even if you don't feel it inside
Am
Pretend you're a real man
Fmaj7/C
Can you be that?
C G Am
I'm dealin with a boy, but baby, it's a man I need
C G Am
So put away your toys, 'cause baby, it's a man I need
[Verse 2]
Am
Uh-oh, if your mind is undecided,
C G
then I might decide to leave you alone
Am
Uh-oh, can't be insecure forever
C G
standing on the edge and dipping your toes.
Am Fmaj7/C
All you gotta do is dive into the ocean deep
C G Am
There's the life you used to live, and then there's one with me.
Am
Uh-oh, there's 7 billion other people,
C G
so I won't be ending up on my own.
[Chorus]
Am
Pretend you're a real man,
Fmaj7/C
Can you do that?
C G
Can you leave the world behind and prove that:
Am
You are a real man
Fmaj7/C
And you love me
C G
More than any other girl above me?
Am Fmaj7/C C G
You will be mine 'till your ego has died even if you don't feel it inside
Am
Pretend you're a real man
Fmaj7/C
Can you be that?
C G Am
I'm dealin with a boy, but baby, it's a man I need
C G Am
So put away your toys, 'cause baby, it's a man I need
[Bridge]
Fmaj7/C
I won't be nobody's secret
G
If I am, then you can keep it
C
Say my name and then repeat it
Em
Shout it from the rooftops
Fmaj7/C
Stand up, boy, I know it's in ya
G
I want back how much I gave ya
C Em
Tell all them other girls I'm with ya
[Chorus]
Am
Pretend you're a real man,
Fmaj7/C
Can you do that?
C G
Can you leave the world behind and prove that:
Am
You are a real man
Fmaj7/C
And you love me
C G
More than any other girl above me?
Am Fmaj7/C C G
You will be mine 'till your ego has died even if you don't feel it inside
Am
Pretend you're a real man
Fmaj7/C
