two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Allemande and weave
Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Swing your girl and promenade
(Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh))
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 1, corner progression

Swing your corner, promenade
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Allemande left your corner, come home a dosado
Allemande left your corner and weave
I seem to be what I'm not (you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around


TAG

Swing
Pretending that you're still around
