lyrics

I Pretend That I Know What I'm Doing

And so they tell me: try not to feel so sad
One day they're babies, and the next day they are dads
Whole lotta nothin', nothin' here to do
I'll buy a steamship, and sail it home to you

I pretend that I know what I'm doing
And it's usually really enough
Things get done and people go home happy

We pretend that we know what we're doing
And it's usually really enough
Things get done and people go home happy

I like to think on the secret lives of dogs
They live so briefly, yet lay around like logs
These things we're wantin',
they slip right through our hands
There's so much anger; we all have seven bands

I pretend that I know what I'm doing
And it's usually really enough
Things get done and people go home happy

We pretend that we know what we're doing
And it's usually really enough
Things get done and people go home happy
