Pretend you love me -- pretend you care,
Let’s make believe we’re having an affair
We’re only dancing, but it feels mad --
When you come close, I feel like being bad!

Pretend you want me for something more
Than we can manage on this shiny wooden floor
Pretend you love me -- pretend you care,
Let’s make believe we’re having an affair.

I’m Valentino, somewhat Latino
Pretend I’m hot, spicy Mediterranée
Pretend you love me -- wave your hand above me
Just don’t mess with my toupee!

Pretend you’re ready -- your palms are sweaty
He:  I’ve never felt so constricted in my shoes
Both:  Let’s do the tango -- my little mango
There’s nothing left to lose!

Look in the mirror and draw me nearer
As we dip, gallop, stomp and sashay
Our chests are heaving with heavy breathing
Just don’t take my breath mints away!

Romance me madly -- You dance so badly!
I’m like the bull flirting with the matador
Big enchilada -- I’ll give you nada
Have we missed the meaning of amor?
Pretend you love me, mi amor
