IT'S LONELY ON THE EDGE
IT'S LONELY ON THIS LEDGE
CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE
NEED YOUR LOVIN' THAT'S FOR SURE
BUT THERE AIN'T MUCH CHANCE
OF A REAL ROMANCE
IN MY AIRTIGHT WORLD
I'LL NEVER GET A GIRL
SO I'LL MAKE ONE UP
AND OUR LOVE WILL NEVER END
SHE'S THE GIRL FOR ME
MY PRETEND GIRLFRIEND

I'LL NEVER MAKE HER SAD
SHE'LL NEVER MAKE ME MAD
OUR LOVE WILL NEVER WANE
SHE'S THE PRODUCT OF MY BRAIN
AND THERE AIN'T NO CHANCE
OF A REAL ROMANCE
HAPP'NIN' IN THIS WAY
AT LEAST NOT TODAY
SO I WILL FABRICATE
THE PERFECT MATE
AND OUR LOVE WILL NEVER END
WITH MY PRETEND GIRLFRIEND

ME AND MY PERFECT GIRL
LIVE IN A PREFECT WORLD
NIGHTTIME STARIN' AT THE MOON
WE WATCH TV IN THE DAYROOM

NOW THERE'S A CHANCE
FOR REAL ROMANCE
A DISTANT WEDDING BELL
I HEAR IT FROM MY CELL
WE WILL NOT POUT
WHEN THEY CALL LIGHT OUT
OFF THE DEEP END
ME AND MY PRETEND GIRLFRIEND
